Malaysia Demands TikTok Explain Failure to Block Fake Account Using AI to Insult King The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission has sent a stern warning to TikTok, demanding an explanation for failing to block a fake account that used artificial intelligence to insult King Sultan Ibrahim Iskandar.
The offending posts featured false claims that the king indulged in pork, which is forbidden by Islam, and manipulated images paired his face with animal bodies.
The Malaysian government has issued a statutory demand under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which could potentially breach Malaysian penal laws.
