With the start of the official campaign period soon upon us, the Commission on Elections is moving to fight fake news and disinformation.
In its latest move along this line, the Comelec has forged a partnership with social media giant TikTok.
The short-form video sharing platform, which is the subject of partial or total bans in several countries because it is owned by Chinese company ByteDance, does not accept political advertising in the Philippines. How far TikTok is willing or able to go in policing its content during the election period in the Philippines remains to be seen.
