So maybe this is an issue with TikTok’s artificial intelligence . I have asked MCMC to contact TikTok to arrange a meeting with the affected media companies’ chief editors,” he said.Fahmi: “TikTok should be following our laws” Fahmi insisted that TikTok needs to coordinate their AI system with Malaysia’s laws.
He explained that MCMC will listen to TikTok’s views on the matter, and then issue a few directives before following up with action.
