Moderation Makeover

ByteDance’s TikTok is laying off hundreds of employees, primarily in Malaysia, as it pivots towards AI-powered content moderation.

The social media giant confirms that fewer than 500 people are affected by this round of cuts.

AI Takes Center Stage

TikTok plans to invest $2 billion globally in trust and safety efforts in 2024. The company reports that 80% of violative content is now removed by automated technologies, signaling a significant shift from human moderation to AI-driven solutions.

Ongoing Restructuring

These layoffs are part of a larger trend at TikTok. Earlier this year, the company cut over 250 jobs in Ireland and around 1,000 in operations and marketing.

However, the current round doesn’t impact U.S. employees, highlighting a strategic focus on global operations.
