KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s Communications and Multimedia Commission on Friday announced that it will take legal action against Facebook's parent company Meta Platforms Inc for failing to remove “undesirable content” from the platform.
“The action is necessary in promoting accountability for cybersecurity and enhancing consumer protection against online harms, including fraudulent activities and scams,” said MCMC’s corporate communications department in a statement. It added that Meta has not fully cooperated with its request to remove such content and has failed to take sufficient action to address the issue.
The regulator added that it is intolerant towards any abuse of online platforms and telecommunications, network or online facilities for malicious cyber activities, phishing activities, or any content that threatens racial stability, social harmony and defies respect for the Rulers.
