Not only death threats from users on the China-owned platform, but also stunts and challenges that have caused death altogether. In Malaysia, the police is now investigating death threats directed at Anwar Ibrahim. How did the TikTok moderators miss that when they won’t miss a so-called ‘sexily-clad’ person in a post? Mind-boggling…

TikTok Death Threats

Tan Sri Razarudin Husain, the Police Chief, confirmed that a report regarding the threats had been received. The investigation is being carried out under both Section 507 of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998. The video is now missing from the person’s page. The person said he is offering RM5 mil to anyone who would fatally harm Anwar, gov’t ministers etc.
