Social media platform TikTok has said accusations by the Malaysian government that it was blocking pro-Palestinian content were “unfounded”, Reuters reports.

Malaysia on Thursday warned of action against social media firms TikTok and Meta, saying their platforms had been accused of restricting content supporting Palestinians.

Meta responded, saying there was “no truth” to the accusation and it was not deliberately suppressing voices on its Facebook platform.

A TikTok spokesperson, in an email to Reuters, also rejected Malaysia’s accusation that it was blocking pro-Palestinian content.
