  "account": "Selangor Bersatu Youth leader Na im Brundage sought permission to challenge TikTok restrictions through a judicial review in June 2024. However, High Court judge Norliza Othman denied his request, stating that MCMC was not the entity that imposed the restrictions on his TikTok accounts. Instead, it was TikTok itself that decided to censor and block Na im's accounts due to alleged violations of its community guidelines. The court ruled that MCMC's actions of notifying TikTok about Na im's breach of guidelines were not subject to judicial review.",
  "summary": "High Court rules that the decision to block or suspend Na’im Brundage’s TikTok accounts was not made by the country's internet regulator.",
