TikTok Fired Moderators in the UK: What Changed for Users.

According to inkorr.com: TikTok has significantly reduced the number of employees in its moderation department in the UK, shifting to the use of artificial intelligence. This reflects a global trend of replacing people with automated systems in social media.

Changes Due to New Law

A new law recently came into force in the UK, imposing penalties on online platforms for failing to meet safety standards for users, especially minors.

In response to this law, TikTok blocked two accounts of pro-Russian politicians. Among them was former MP Yevgeny Murayev, who spread propaganda and misinformation that violated the platform's rules.

“This law is designed to ensure greater safety online for everyone.”

These steps by TikTok indicate the company's adaptation to new regulatory realities in the online environment. In a situation where user safety is becoming a priority, the automation of moderation processes may prove not only an effective solution but also compensate for the loss due to staff reductions.

Content control in social networks is becoming increasingly relevant, and TikTok is trying to meet the new requirements while ensuring the safety of its users.
