The human touch still required, says MCMC man


PETALING JAYA: Combing through millions of posts on social media every minute of the day to ensure that they do not pose a threat to the country is an arduous task that falls on the Malaysian Communication Multimedia Commission (MCMC).

Its chief network security officer Datuk Dr Mohamed Sulaiman Sultan Suhaibuddeen said that as of April 22, as many as 48,696 posts deemed inflammatory were taken down, out of the 65,650 that were flagged.
