KUCHING: The government is looking into the specific mechanism that can be used to ensure tech platforms like TikTok, Google and Meta contribute to the Malaysian media industry whose content they use, says Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil.

Fahmi said the three companies use a lot of content produced by Malaysian media organisations to generate their own advertising revenue.
