Meta Rejects Claims of Profiting from Scam Ads, Calls Reports “Selective View”
Sepang, December 15 — The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) clarified that the Online Safety Act 2025 (Onsa), effective next year, aims to safeguard social media users by imposing responsibility on platforms rather than curbing individual freedoms.
Deputy managing director Eneng Faridah Iskandar said the law enables action against companies failing to filter harmful content, shifting focus from content creators to providers. Current laws target only individuals sharing illegal material.
Platforms must address complaints transparently, submit annual digital safety plans, and face up to RM10 million fines for non-compliance. Nine prohibited content types include child sexual abuse and fraud.
Eneng emphasised protecting children—a third of internet users—from predatory threats, harmonising platform procedures for easier reporting. For the upcoming under-16 social media ban from January, platforms bear enforcement responsibility, with MCMC monitoring compliance.
