TikTok is removing content about Palestine-Israel conflict from Malaysia, says Communications and Digital Minister


KUALA LUMPUR: The Communications and Digital Minister on Thursday (Oct 26) revealed that there's evidence that TikTok has systematically taken down or removed content related to the Palestine-Israel conflict originating from Malaysia.

Fahmi Fadzil said this was proven after numerous platform users complained to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) that their content and live broadcasts had been taken down or restricted. This includes those related to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's speech during last Tuesday's Malaysia Stands with Palestine Rally.
