SOCIAL media app TikTok is set to lay off hundreds of staff in its content moderation and security team in London.
The move comes just as the Online Safety Act is about to come into force.

The act requires tech companies to prevent the spread of harmful material or be hit with hefty fines, according to the Financial Times.
An email sent to all UK staff in TikTok’s trust and safety department stated that moderation and quality assurance work might no longer be carried out at the London site.
