HUNDREDS of people watch as a woman in a livestream takes off her clothes, leaving on nothing but her face mask and underwear. She then tells viewers that in 30 minutes, only those who “donate” 200 kons – an amount of Popkon TV currency equal to 20,000 won (RM71.60) – will be allowed to join her in the “fan room.”

As adult streaming activity grows, so have calls for authorities to regulate the content more tightly.
