In a move that signals closer collaboration between global tech firms and local regulators, the Communications and Multimedia Content Forum of Malaysia (CMCF) has officially joined Google's Priority Flagger program. This partnership is set to elevate Malaysia's efforts in curbing harmful online content by giving CMCF a more direct channel to report violations across Google platforms, especially YouTube.
You'd think tech giants like Google, Meta (the company behind Facebook and Instagram), and X (formerly Twitter) would have everything sorted when it comes to legal requirements—but in Malaysia, they're still not fully licensed to operate as social media providers.
Starting March 19, YouTube is tightening its global rules around online gambling content. The platform aims to better protect its viewers—especially minors—by banning links to gambling sites and apps that haven't been certified by Google.
