KUALA LUMPUR, March 13 — The government is looking to introduce parental control tools through a collaboration with local telecommunication providers to prevent children from being exposed to troubling online trends.
Based on a search, he said, be it X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp or TikTok, they all have a minimum age limit set at 13 years, except Telegram, which is 16 and above.“To ensure that the age limit condition is met, parents and guardians have the responsibility of monitoring their children’s activities online,” Fahmi told Parliament during Question Time today.
“This shows that the existing guidelines are not sufficient. The government through the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission has worked with the five telecommunication providers in the country — CelcomDigi, Maxis, U Mobile, Telekom Malaysia and Time — will make available Parental Control Tools which will allow parents to monitor, filter, limit and block what their children are exposed to online,” Fahmi said.
In addition, Fahmi said Cabinet ministers had last month agreed to set up a working committee that will evaluate tabling a new law in relation to online crimes including security.
