Malaysian authorities have summoned TikTok management to address concerns over the platform’s handling of misinformation, according to a local media report. Officials criticized the company for delays in removing or curbing fake news content, particularly material linked to sensitive political and social issues.

The Communications Ministry reportedly pressed TikTok to step up its moderation efforts and comply with national regulations, stressing that the spread of unverified information poses risks to public order. The government has been increasing scrutiny of social media platforms amid rising concerns about online disinformation ahead of upcoming political events.

TikTok, owned by China’s ByteDance, has faced similar regulatory pressure in multiple countries, where authorities are demanding stricter oversight of digital content and faster responses to reports of harmful or misleading posts.
