KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 24 — Malaysian Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil has lambasted the decision by social media platform TikTok to appoint a former Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) soldier as its hate content manager in New York.
He said the move was insensitive and lacked integrity on the part of the platform, raising concerns about the use of algorithms to control the type of content for users in Malaysia.
“After learning of the appointment, I immediately lodged an initial protest by contacting TikTok’s Chief Executive Officer directly. However, the response I received was very much a PR line, saying that the appointment had nothing to do with the issue of Palestine.
“They may say it is separate, but I don’t see it that way. I am concerned that it opens the door for pro-Zionist content to influence TikTok’s algorithms for Malaysian users,” he said after officiating the Gaza Humanitarian Virtual Reality (VR) Innovation Exhibition held in conjunction with the Sumud Nusantara Carnival at Dataran Merdeka here today.
