Hundreds of UK jobs are at risk after TikTok confirmed plans to restructure its content moderation operations and shift work to other parts of Europe.

The Communication Workers Union (CWU) condemned the decision, accusing TikTok of “putting corporate greed over the safety of workers and the public”.
