Fahmi expects social media platforms to submit their licensing applications with the MCMC by November. He said it takes up to 5 working days to process.
today said that the government expects some social media platforms to submit new licensing applications in October or November this year.“In general, there are two timelines. The first is for the licensing to develop a code of conduct. This code of conduct will involve discussions with all social media platforms, and stakeholders, including bodies, non-governmental organisations, academics, and various parties. We believe it can be completed by the end of October.
“At the same time, the process of engaging with social media platforms to ensure they understand the licensing process will continue. I have requested that the MCMC be contacted immediately, and that is being done, but it will take time,” he told reporters during his weekly post-Cabinet meeting press conference here.“Individual licences may take several months to process, but for the class licence, the MCMC informs us that it will take three to five working days.
Earlier this month, the MCMC released details of its regulatory framework, which will require social media and messaging apps to apply for an annual licence. —Fahmi reveals top social media platforms that comply with Malaysian lawsAugust 20, 2024
