MCMC: Report it if you’re added to group sharing explicit content


Safeguards in place: Ishsal says action will be taken based on the type of content in the complaint.

CYBERJAYA: You can now report to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission if you have been added to a WhatsApp group that shares explicit content, including videos and photos, says its chairman Al-Ishsal Ishak.

“They can screencap details to include the phone number of the person who created the WhatsApp group and send it to the new MCMC WhatsApp hotline (016-220 6262) because that’s the fastest way, ” Ishsal said at the National Fiberisation and Connectivity Plan media briefing.
