The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has announced its intention to take legal action against Meta, the parent company of Facebook, for allegedly failing to remove “undesirable content.”

A First For Malaysia

The content in question includes elements of defamation, impersonation, online gambling, scam advertisements, and sensitive topics related to race, royalty, and religion. MCMC claims that Meta’s response to their requests was unsatisfactory and sluggish, prompting them to take definitive steps, although the specific actions were not clarified.

FACEBOOK ACCOUNTABLE

The move aims to ensure cybersecurity accountability and enhance consumer protection against online harm, including fraud and scams. The announcement follows Malaysia’s communications minister raising concerns about content on the Telegram messaging platform.
