Moderation through AI: Tiktok is eliminating hundreds of jobs around the world

A spokesperson for the platform, part of the Chinese Bytedance Group, announced on Friday that it would invest $2 billion (1.8 billion euros) in “trust and security” and further improve the “effectiveness” of these efforts.

According to the spokesperson, 80 percent of “violating content” is now removed by “automated technologies.” Tiktok uses a combination of human moderators and automated detection to review content posted on the platform.

There has been speculation in recent months that the company will significantly reduce its operations and marketing workforce worldwide. According to the site, Bytedance, the parent company of Tiktok, employs more than 100,000 people in more than 200 cities around the world.

The company did not specify the countries in which the jobs would be eliminated. However, the large number of job cuts should impact the Malaysian site. In the Southeast Asian country, major technology companies have recently felt increasing regulatory pressure due to harmful and inflammatory content on online platforms.
