ByteDance lays off hundreds of TikTok employees in shift to AI content moderation


ByteDance's TikTok is laying off hundreds of employees, mainly in Malaysia, according to a report from Reuters.

The company said it’s making the changes as part of its efforts to strengthen its global operating model for content moderation, according to Reuters. The latest round of cuts at the social network follow a series of reductions conducted earlier this year. In April, the company cut over 250 jobs in Ireland, and in May reports indicated that it was laying off around 1,000 employees in its operations and marketing teams.
