Fahmi to address social media misinformation

PUTRAJAYA: Discussions will be held with representatives from social media platforms to discuss misinformation and content deemed as extreme, says Fahmi Fadzil.

The Digital Communications Minister said that he was concerned about the spread of fake news and the issue was also raised by ministers at the Cabinet meeting. “I believe after having meetings with a few social media platforms including TikTok, perhaps I will be able to understand the issue better in terms of regulatory framework,” he said after clocking in at his ministry yesterday.
