TikTok has confirmed it's laying off 'hundreds' of employees globally, as part of a broader shift toward AI-powered content moderation, aimed at strengthening operations.
According to a report, TikTok moderators are paid around $1.80 an hour, while facing pressures to review a staggering 900 videos a day, facing traumatic content.
Moderators report that while they receive psychological support, it often feels superficial, and strict monitoring means missing targets can lead to significant pay cuts.
This shift to AI moderation represents both a strategic operational change for TikTok and raises concerns about job security for human workers in content moderation.
