Meta is tightening its safety controls for young users in Malaysia, and the timing is not accidental. As the country moves closer to stricter social media rules for children and teenagers, the company is putting more attention on how younger users interact with Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger. Through its Teen Accounts system, Meta says it is building in stronger protections by default rather than expecting teens or parents to configure everything manually.
For 2026, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is taking a noticeably more "meet people where they are" approach with its Internet Safety Campaign (KIS). Instead of relying mainly on formal talks and broad messaging, the focus is shifting toward grassroots engagement, making digital safety feel less like a lecture and more like something communities can experience, discuss, and actually practice.
The Ministry of Communications Malaysia (Kementerian Komunikasi) has officially launched the second chapter of its "Online Safety IRL" fellowship programme—this time titled the Scam Edition. The initiative is driven in collaboration with CelcomDigi Berhad (CelcomDigi), Meta Platforms, Inc. (Meta) and Ratio:Cause, and media partner Tonton. The focus? Tackling the evolving online-scam threat landscape—especially those scams enhanced by artificial intelligence.
In a time where misinformation spreads faster than ever, Malaysia's Ministry of Communications is stepping up its efforts to keep the internet a safer space. Through its enforcement arm, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), over 40,000 misleading and fraudulent content items were successfully removed from online platforms between January and 15 April 2025.
Deepfake scams are back in the spotlight—this time with some pretty high-profile faces being misused. The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) has uncovered five new deepfake videos tied to investment scams, and one of them features none other than Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
