TikTok's US joint venture shut its Nashville office and cut about 250 roles, many in content moderation, as it shifts more moderation to automated AI systems. The company framed the closure as an effort to 'streamline our operations and better align our teams for long-term growth'; reporting and the workers' union tied the cuts to AI-assisted moderation replacing human reviewers.

TikTok said it would cut several hundred UK trust-and-safety roles, about 300 in its London team plus hundreds more in Asia, concentrating content moderation in fewer hubs (Dublin, Lisbon and third-party providers) and leaning more on AI review. The company said AI tools already identify over 85% of content removed for guideline breaches; the CWU union criticised the move from human moderators to what it called 'immature AI alternatives.'
