PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission removed 32,676 posts of fraud and scam content between January and Aug 15, an increase from 6,297 in 2023.
"This reclassification would subject these platforms to government regulation, ensuring better protection of user rights and the mitigation of harmful content. Similar to the oversight of traditional utilities, a licensing framework for social media and instant messaging platforms could help address issues like misinformation, privacy breaches and the spread of harmful material,” she said.
Teo emphasised that in today’s rapidly changing digital landscape, media practitioners must navigate a complex terrain shaped by AI. However, while the technology has enormous potential for positive societal change, it also carries significant risks, particularly in the realm of misinformation and disinformation.
Thus, as AI technology advances at a breakneck pace, effective management and regulation are required to ensure that the benefits outweigh the potential drawbacks, she added.
