TikTok moderators struggling to assess Israel-Gaza content, Guardian told

Button letting moderators flag video content in language they do not understand has been removed, source says

TikTok moderators have struggled to assess content related to the Israel-Gaza conflict because the platform removed an internal tool for flagging videos in a foreign language, the Guardian has been told.

The change has meant moderators in Europe cannot flag that they do not understand foreign-language videos, for example, in Arabic and Hebrew, which are understood to be appearing more frequently in video queues.
