The Malaysian Ministry of Communications will monitor social media platforms' implementation of age restrictions. Minister Fahmi Fadzil stated that additional measures will be taken if platforms fail to enforce their own age limits, following the implementation of social media licensing on January 1st. While Malaysia won't directly ban children under 16 from social media like Australia, the ministry will ensure platforms effectively implement their existing age restrictions to prevent criminal activity and maintain policy stability.
: Kementerian Komunikasi akan memantau dan mengambil langkah tambahan sekiranya mana-mana platform media sosial gagal melaksanakan larangan had umur penggunaan yang ditetapkan platform tersebut.
Beliau berkata demikian ketika ditanya sama ada Malaysia akan mengikut langkah Australia yang melarang kanak-kanak berusia 16 tahun ke bawah menggunakan platform media sosial. “Jadi, banyak perbincangan telah dilakukan dan apa yang kita tegaskan tiada sebarang perubahan terhadap apa yang telah dibincangkan dari awal hingga kini. Oleh itu, kami ingin menyediakan kestabilan dasar dan memberi ketelusan agar pihak pengurusan tertinggi syarikat-syarikat ini faham.
“... terdapat beberapa platform yang telah saya terima kemas kini semalam, ada yang meminta penjelasan mengenai beberapa perkara, dan ada yang sedang menyediakan dokumen berkaitan pembentangan undang-undang dan perkara-perkara seumpamanya.
