TikTok, the short video app, has pledged to take proactive measures to address issues raised by the Malaysian government regarding content moderation. The government had stated that the app was not fully compliant with local laws. TikTok's commitment comes after the European Union's Digital Services Act (DSA) set clear obligations for the platform to protect children and teenagers from violent content, terrorist propaganda, death challenges, and potentially life-threatening content. The app's CEO, Shou Zi Chew, received a letter outlining these obligations. Reuters and Tech in Asia have reported on TikTok's commitment to addressing Malaysia's concerns. Caixin, a news outlet, also reported on the situation.
