(UPDATE) THE Commission on Elections (Comelec) and social media platform TikTok Philippines on Tuesday signed a memorandum of agreement to fight political misinformation, disinformation and fake news to preserve the integrity and transparency of the May 12 elections.
Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia said the partnership would help dispel misinformation and disinformation since TikTok was the top platform being used by politicians and candidates.
He admitted that Comelec does not have the human and financial resources to do what TikTok could do, adding they would seek similar deals with other social platforms.
