2024’s first quarter sees more MCMC reports on harmful content than whole of 2023

51,638 reports sent to online platform providers from Jan-March, says commission

KUALA LUMPUR – The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) filed significantly more reports to online platform providers in the first three months of 2024 than the entirety of last year. 

In a joint statement with the Royal Malaysia Police today, the commission said between January and March this year, it had submitted 51,638 reports to online platform providers regarding harmful content on social media and over-the-top platforms. 

MCMC noted that the figure, which was based on the commission’s statistics, was much higher compared to the 42,904 cases recorded throughout last year. 

Referencing a meeting held between TikTok and Meta yesterday, MCMC said the social media platform providers were instructed to step up their monitoring efforts to curb the spread of detrimental content. 

“The platform providers have also been asked to effectively tackle content relating to 3R (race, religion and royalty) sentiments by referring to their respective platform guidelines and Malaysian law. 

“TikTok and Meta are urged to curb coordinated inauthentic behaviour content while monitoring and taking immediate action against harmful content such as scams and illegal online gambling,” MCMC added. 

The commission also said other matters discussed during the meeting included improvements to online safety by properly implementing age-authentication measures to prevent those below 13-years-old from accessing social media platforms. 

“TikTok and Meta have been required to provide an improvement plan and strategy with comprehensive details, as agreed in the meeting.” 

Yesterday, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said the two social media platform providers were notified of the government’s plans for a better framework for laws involving online safety, policies and guidelines for social media platform operations in Malaysia. – April 9, 2024
