Social media content that goes against community guidelines is removed only by the platform operator, and not on the orders of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said.
Facebook and Instagram’s parent company, Meta, has come under fire for its content moderation policies that increasingly silence voices in support of Palestine since the war started on October 7.
The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission will take down or block any obscene content based on the request of the police after receiving reports and complaints from users.
