TikTok is considering cutting approximately 300 jobs at its Dublin European hub, representing about 10% of its local workforce of 3,000. The proposed cuts follow a similarly sized round in early 2025 and would affect its AI data service, operations, and quality assurance teams. The reductions reflect a broader pattern of replacing human content moderation with automated systems. Despite the job cuts, ByteDance continues to invest heavily in European data infrastructure, including a pledged €12bn investment. Dublin's role as a European tech hub makes it particularly exposed to such restructuring waves, which mirror similar moves at Meta and other tech firms redirecting budgets toward AI.
