KUALA LUMPUR – TikTok has been told to introduce stronger safeguards to prevent children under 13 from using its platform, with the communications minister warning that current measures are ineffective.

Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the ministry had directed the company to work with the police (PDRM) and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to establish clear mechanisms and a timeline for enforcement.

This article was utter garbage.

Repackaged arguments preceded by multiple paragraphs on how child abuse is so awful to prove that the author is not hellbent on fucking kids.

Nobody has an original thought these days. They just write paragraph after paragraph of rehashed arguments that they know won't get them canceled or fired.

What a pathetic world humans have created.
