: The MADANI Government will continue to ensure that social media platforms take a firm stance against online crime to create a safer Internet for everyone, especially children and families, said Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil.
“Meta needs to be much more proactive in combating group accounts on its social media platforms that engage in such sexual criminal activities,” he said in a statement today. According to Fahmi, the discussions focused on the readiness of all parties for the enforcement of licensing regulations for social media platforms and Internet messaging systems, which was slated to take effect on Jan 1 next year.
“I reminded Meta that the government’s intention in imposing this licensing is to address issues of crime that have migrated to social media, including scams, online gambling, cyberbullying, and sexual crimes against children.
