I would like to remind MCMC about the clauses: QUOTE Article 3.1: Regulation of Social Media Platforms and Cloud Providers 1. Malaysia shall remove the requirement for U.S. social media platforms and cloud providers to contribute six percent of their revenue generated in Malaysia to a domestic fund in order to operate in Malaysia. 2. Malaysia shall administer its domestic laws and regulations for social media platforms and cloud providers in a transparent, impartial, and non-discriminatory manner, and in accordance with the principles of due process.

To combat scammers, need to educate people. This digital ID will not prevent future scamming, it will only make things worse, as more of your personal details are further tied to all accounts you use on all social and other platforms. Online stalking will be more rampant as they can track their victim more easily with a digital ID. Anonymity is better, a digital ID is self-doxxing yourself 24/7 to all creepy people out there.

Cybersecurity experts hail move to ‘capture’ all service providers
Nation Tuesday, 16 Dec 2025 PETALING JAYA: Registering all Internet messaging and social media service providers with eight million or more users in Malaysia ensures clearer accountability alongside tighter digital regulation, say cybersecurity experts. Universiti Sains Malaysia Cybersecurity Research Centre director Prof Dr Selvakumar Manickam called the move “nothing short of a regulatory masterstroke”. “Instead of waiting for tech giants to stroll leisurely through the bureaucratic garden, Malaysia has effectively installed an automatic gate that captures upon entry,” he said. ![]() “This move ensures relevant industry players fall immediately under Malaysian regulatory oversight without administrative lag or voluntary opt-ins.” He added that users should also benefit from stronger data protection awareness and safety by design approaches. “Automatic licensing closes loopholes and brings everyone to the table, whether they confirm or not,” Prof Selvakumar said. Cybersecurity expert Fong Choong Fook said having a licensing programme in place provides a reference guideline for licensing providers while also imposing regulatory requirements on platform providers. He also stressed the importance of efficient enforcement under the much anticipated Online Safety Act 2025 (Onsa). “The question is whether the regulations will be adhered to. “Without enforcement, the Onsa may become a paper tiger,” said Fong, who is the founder of cybersecurity firm LGMS Bhd. He is also of the view that penalties scaled to revenue should be integrated into Onsa. “A financial penalty is good. Another suggestion is to hold the chief executives of social media platforms based in Malaysia criminally liable,” he said. Prof Selvakumar also proposed revenue-based penalties, saying the fine not exceeding RM10mil for non-compliance of rules as stipulated under Onsa would be a tiny amount for global tech and social media platform giants. “Global regulators too are increasingly imposing penalties scaled to revenue,” he said. “Think of RM10mil as a decent ‘warning shot’ but not yet the deterrent needed for repeat offenders or systemic negligence.” He said Malaysia should follow in the footsteps of the European Union, which recently slapped Apple and Meta with steep fines for breaching certain legal obligations. “A carrot and stick model would be the way forward – the carrot in the form of cooperative frameworks, transparent expectations, and clear safety standards, and the stick in the form of steeper penalties for on-purpose, repeated or harmful non-compliance.” Source: https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2025...rvice-providers |

Subject to the law, whether they like it or not
Nation Tuesday, 16 Dec 2025 PETALING JAYA: Large online social media and messaging service providers will be “deemed registered” under the Applications Service Provider Class (ASP©) licence of the Communications and Multimedia Act, says the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). According to the agency, this includes Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, TikTok, WhatsApp and YouTube. The automatic registration is imposed through a deeming provision following amendments to the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 by introducing section 46A (Deeming Provision). “This deeming provision enables any person to be deemed as registered under a (ASP©) licence through a Ministerial Declaration without the need to submit a formal registration to register or get a licence,” MCMC said in a statement yesterday. “All Internet messaging and social media service providers with eight million or more users in Malaysia are subject to this licensing framework.” MCMC said this step ensures that large-scale service providers will operate within the country’s legal and regulatory framework in an orderly, consistent and effective manner. The commission has further clarified that this deemed registration has no validity period; the registration of an ASP© licence remains in effect until it is cancelled by service providers. Among the duties licensed service providers have to perform under the Online Safety Act 2025 (Onsa) is to protect the online safety of child users, including by preventing children from accessing suspected harmful content (see graphic for details). Adults are also prevented from viewing the personal information of a child, and there will be control of personalised recommendation systems suitable for child users. Service providers who do not comply with the law can face a financial penalty not exceeding RM10mil, paid to MCMC. “MCMC will continue to work closely with service providers and other law enforcement agencies to strengthen online safety, particularly for children and families, and for the benefit of all users in Malaysia,” said the commission. Previously, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said explained that the establishment of the Online Safety Committee is crucial given Malaysia’s vast social media landscape with 33.1 million active social media users, representing 96% of the total population. “Of this number, an estimated 10.6 million users are under 18 years old, making Malaysia one of the countries with the highest digital literacy and exposure rates in the region,” she said during a ministerial briefing on the committee in the Special Chambers of the Dewan Rakyat on Nov 13. “This indicates that the government cannot act alone, hence a safe online environment can only be achieved through practical synergy between the government and platform providers.” The Online Safety Bill was passed in the Dewan Rakyat on Dec 11, 2024, and was gazetted on May 22 this year.

QUOTE(smallbug @ Dec 15 2025, 06:54 PM) https://www.msn.com/en-my/news/other/mcmc-w...13365eef3&ei=50 the platform with smut n hard coreoorn contents mana? Biar kan je lepas tu aka hati nak final censorship board?? KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 15 — Major social media and messaging platforms, including WhatsApp, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube, will be automatically registered under a Malaysian licensing framework beginning Jan 1, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) announced today. MCMC said the move is designed to bring large-scale service providers with eight million or more users in Malaysia under the country’s legal and regulatory oversight, strengthening accountability and compliance with local laws. The new rule ensures that these global platforms bear clearer responsibility for user safety, particularly in safeguarding children and families from harmful content. The initiative will ensure that the platforms operate within Malaysia’s legal framework in an “orderly, consistent and effective manner,” the regulator explained. However, the commission clarified that the service providers involved will “continue to operate their global platform as usual.” Instead of requiring each company to apply for a new licence, the MCMC is using a “Deeming Provision” under the Communications and Multimedia Act. This legal mechanism automatically considers any platform that meets the eight-million-user threshold to be registered as an Applications Service Provider Class (ASP©) licensee. Platforms that are already registered will have the new provision take effect once their existing registration expires. MCMC said this approach aligns with international practices for regulating large-scale online platforms and is a continuation of a licensing framework that was first enforced last Jan 1. The commission added that it will continue to work closely with service providers to strengthen online safety for all users in Malaysia. Three social media platforms had successfully obtained ASP© licences as of July 1: WeChat International Private Limited, TikTok Private Limited, and Telegram Messenger Incorporated. Meta platforms including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, along with Google's YouTube were said to pending licensing, while X (now Twitter) insisted it did not meet the user threshold. |
