Royal Reminders and Social Media Scrutiny: Malaysia's TikTok Takedown Malaysia's Communications Commission has issued a statutory demand to TikTok, citing the platform's failure to moderate "offensive" content related to the country's monarchy.
The move is part of an ongoing effort by the government to rein in social media companies it sees as failing to police their platforms effectively.
The development comes on the heels of Malaysia's recent efforts to address online harm, including a plan for age verification for users this year.
