Malaysia says TikTok fails to comply with local laws fully. On Thursday, the Malaysian communications minister claimed that TikTok had not done enough to prevent the spread of false or defamatory information in the country and that it had also broken several other local laws.

Minister Fahmi Fadzil stated on social media that TikTok has to resolve problems with content distribution and ad purchases due to concerns after meeting with officials from the app.

He said that TikTok had informed him that it would work with the government and that its current lack of representation in Malaysia was the cause of its inadequacies.

In the post, Fahmi omitted any more information. A request for comment on either the meeting or the minister’s statements did not immediately elicit a response from a TikTok spokeswoman.

ByteDance, a Chinese company, owns TikTok, which has recently drawn attention in Southeast Asia. Vietnam is looking into the app for “toxic” material. At the same time, Indonesia’s government blocked transactions on its platform last week due to a prohibition on e-commerce on social media.

Since the government of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim committed to limiting what it views as controversial remarks that touch on race, religion, and royalty, Malaysia has strengthened its inspection of internet material.

The Malaysian government first threatened to sue Facebook parent firm Meta (META.O) for breaking the Communications and Multimedia Act, but following discussions with the business, it abandoned the proposal.
