Tiktok to lay hundreds of Britain’s material intermediaries

Tikkok is planning to launch hundreds of employees in the UK, which mediates the content visible on the social media platform.

According to Tikok, the scheme works in its other offices in Europe as it invests in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to score its moderation.

“We are continuing a reorganization, which we started last year to strengthen our global operating model for confidence and security,” a Tikok spokesman told the BBC, including concentrating our operations in low locations globally. “

But a spokesperson of the Communication Workers Union (CWU) said the decision was “the security of the workers and the public was luring”.

The CWU national official for Tech John Chadfield said, “Ticketk worker developed in a hurry for a long time, in favor of immature AI options, the alarm is ringing at the real world cost of cutting human moderation teams.”

He said the cuts were announced “As the workers of the company are going to vote on their union on being recognized”.

But Ticketkok stated that it will “maximize effectiveness and speed as we develop this important task for the company with the benefits of technological progress”.

The affected employees work in their trust and safety team in London, as well as hundreds and workers in the same department in some parts of Asia.

Tiktok uses a combination of automated systems and human mediators. According to the firm, 85% of the posts that break the rules are removed by its automated systems, including AI.

According to the firm, this investment is helping to reduce how many times human reviewers bother footage.

The affected employees will be able to apply to other internal roles and will be given priority if they meet the minimum job requirements.

This step comes at a time when the UK has increased the requirements of companies, which to check the material visible on their platforms, and especially the age of the viewers.
