Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil urges online platform providers TikTok and Meta to enhance monitoring efforts due to an increase in harmful content.
Control over harmful content
Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) statistics reveal a rise in harmful content cases, with 51,638 cases referred to platform providers in the first three months of the year, compared to 42,904 cases in the previous year.
Discussions focus on content moderation, addressing sensitivities of race, religion, and royalty, curbing coordinated inauthentic behavior, and implementing age verification to protect children from harmful content. TikTok and Meta are required to provide improvement plans and strategies.
“For just the first three months of this year, a total of 51,638 cases have been referred to online platform providers for further action. This figure is higher compared to the 42,904 recorded cases throughout the previous year,” Fahmi says.
