ByteDance has launched a significant workforce reduction, laying off around 500 content moderation staff, primarily in Malaysia, to enhance its AI-driven content moderation framework.
The ongoing layoffs align with ByteDance's strategy to streamline global operations, as it faces increasing regulatory scrutiny and the need to integrate automated systems into their content moderation.
TikTok is reportedly investing $2 billion in trust and safety measures, with a goal of 80% of content violations being handled by AI, reflecting shifts in operational strategies.
As regulatory pressures mount, especially in Malaysia, TikTok is also facing legal challenges in the U.S. over data privacy laws, further complicating its operational landscape.
