TikTok has announced plans to lay off hundreds of employees in the UK. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
Primarily, content moderation specialists will be affected. The company aims to transfer this process to other European offices and make wider use of artificial intelligence technologies.
TikTok representatives emphasized that this change is part of a global strategy to strengthen the “Trust and Safety” department. They believe that artificial intelligence will speed up processes and increase efficiency.
The trade union in the UK criticized this decision, describing it as “prioritizing corporate interests over human safety.” They warn that relying solely on technology can be risky.
Laid-off moderators will have the opportunity to apply for other positions within the company. This change coincides with the tightening of online safety requirements in the UK.
From now on, companies may face heavy fines if they do not comply with the laws. For this reason, TikTok has also decided to implement new control measures.
This situation exemplifies the company’s commitment to ensuring safety and trust.
