Short video game TikTok is committed to taking proactive steps to address issues brought up by Malaysia, a voice stated after the country’s government claimed the software was never fully compliant with local laws.
A company director stated in an internet on Thursday, October 12, that” TikTok respects local laws and regulations and is committed to taking proactive steps to address the issues raised.”
To show its dedication, TikTok has scheduled meetings with Malaysia’s communications regulation for the upcoming week, the spokesperson added.
Fahmi Fadzil, the minister of communications for Malaysia, claimed that TikTok had done insufficient to stop slanderous or false content on its platform and that the social media company had broken a number of local laws. He made no mention of the legislation.
Following issues from businesses, the general public, and media organizations, Fahmi stated in a social media message that TikTok may also address issues related to information distribution and marketing purchases.
Following Indonesia’s decision to stop dealings on its platform last week in response to a ban on e-commerce on social media and Vietnamese government investigation into hazardous material on the game, TikTok, which is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, has come under strain in Southeast Asia.
Website content that discusses race, religion, and royalty has recently come under fire in Malaysia.
After conferences with Facebook, the government announced this year that it would sue the parent company for failing to censor damaging information on its platform.
