TikTok is putting hundreds of jobs at risk in the UK as part of a restructure of its trust and safety operations as it increasingly uses artificial intelligence (AI) to moderate content.

The video-sharing app said it was 'concentrating our operations in fewer locations globally'.

Plans for a global restructure will involve jobs in the UK, as well as south and south-east Asia.

It is understood that several hundred jobs will be impacted in the UK, where it currently employs more than 2,500 staff.

Under the proposed plans, the work of affected employees will be reallocated to other offices in Europe and some third-party providers - with some trust and safety roles and operations remaining in the UK.
