MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Justice – Office of Cybercrime (DOJ-OOC), the Philippines’ authoritative body for international cybercrime cooperation and investigation protocols, recently convened a pivotal meeting with TikTok’s Legal Policy Operations Officer, Mr. Yusuke Mori. 

This high-level engagement underscores a critical push to fortify the nation’s defenses against an escalating tide of digital threats.

The discussions were meticulously structured, delving into the legal and operational frameworks governing key aspects of cybercrime response: preservation requests, information requests, and content removal. 

Participants explored the scope, requirements, and limitations of each mechanism, aiming for an optimized, legally sound application.

Beyond immediate operational concerns, the meeting illuminated avenues for collaboration between the DOJ-OOC and TikTok. Key among these are partnerships to amplify public awareness initiatives, champion digital safety across user bases, and strengthen coordinated responses to the challenges posed by cybercrime.

In an era defined by rapidly evolving cyber threats, this sustained engagement between governmental authorities and leading technology platforms is not merely beneficial—it is imperative. 

Such alliances are fundamental to bolstering international cooperation, ensuring the preservation of digital evidence, safeguarding online users, and guaranteeing that cybercrime investigations are effective and anchored in the rule of law.
