TikTok plans 300 Dublin job cuts and confirms Indonesia layoffs in AI-led restructuring of its trust-and-safety operations

by | Jul 1, 2026 | Latest E-commerce News & Updates

TikTok plans to cut around 300 jobs at its Dublin European headquarters, mainly across AI data services and operations teams, as the ByteDance-owned platform reshapes its trust-and-safety operations amid an industry AI push, according to Bloomberg. A spokesperson said the reorganization will also create new roles, netting the roughly 300-job reduction, with some affected employees offered alternative positions. TikTok separately confirmed layoffs in Indonesia without specifying the number. The move comes less than a year after TikTok cut nearly 300 Dublin roles, about 10% of that workforce, with Dublin serving as its European hub for content moderation and data protection.
