Without elaborating, Fahmi said many parties had urged the government to take firm action against social media platforms for allegedly restricting pro-Palestinian content. Representatives of Tiktok and Meta did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The concerns come two weeks after Fahmi said TikTok had not complied fully with Malaysia's laws and had not done enough to curb defamatory or misleading content.

☆ Malaysia to take legal action against Meta over harmful content

KUALA LUMPUR, June 23 (Reuters) - Malaysia said on Friday it will take legal action against Facebook parent Meta Platforms (META.O) for failing to remove "undesirable" posts, the strongest measure the country has taken to date over such content. It said Meta had failed to take sufficient action despite its repeated requests and that legal action was necessary to promote accountability for cybersecurity and to protect consumers. Asked what legal action it might take, the commission said in an emailed statement on Saturday that allowing abuse of network facilities or application services can be offences under Malaysia's Communications and Multimedia Act 1998. Facebook is Malaysia's biggest social media platform, with an estimated 60% of the country's 33 million people having a registered account. Globally, big social media firms that include Meta, Google's YouTube and TikTok are often under regulatory scrutiny over content posted on their platforms.
