Malaysia's MCMC issued a formal statutory demand to TikTok under the Online Safety Act 2025, requiring an enforceable content moderation plan or face up to RM10 million in penalties. This is the first Section 39 enforcement action under the new statute and signals aggressive regulatory enforcement on AI-driven content moderation. Professional services firms advising tech clients should expect similar demands across APAC; review client moderation frameworks and escalation protocols now.
