TikTok is considering laying off around 300 employees at its European hub in Dublin, according to multiple reports citing company communications. The proposed redundancies are linked to a broader restructuring of the company’s trust and safety operations, including efforts that some sources describe as moving toward AI-led content moderation. The layoffs would affect roles within the trust and safety team, where TikTok reportedly expects to reduce headcount by roughly 300 positions.
Reports also indicate that TikTok has recently undertaken a similarly sized round of layoffs at the Dublin site and is now evaluating another change. Depending on the source, the affected number is described as about 300 jobs, with some reporting that it would represent around a tenth of the local workforce. TikTok has not only discussed potential job losses but also said restructuring could create new roles or offer alternative positions to some affected staff.
Separately, at least one outlet notes that TikTok has confirmed layoffs in Indonesia as part of an ongoing review of trust and safety operations. Overall, the reporting centers on the scale of the Dublin job review and TikTok’s stated intention to reshape its staffing rather than only reduce it.
