It's okay to tell a white lie to protect yourself, netizens told

KUALA LUMPUR: Netizens were told it is okay to tell a white lie on social media to avoid falling prey to identity thieves and hackers.

“It is not necessary for us to be honest when giving out information and it is okay to lie a bit to protect our personal details,” Deputy Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Jailani Johari said to a supplementary question raised by Teo Nie Ching (DAP-Kulai) in Parliament on Wednesday.
