MCMC looking to regulate social media for under 13s


PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) will work with social media platforms to regulate the issue of social media use among children below 13, says Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching.

“At this moment, social media platforms leave account registration to users fully, without any way of proving their age met the necessary requirements. The Communications Ministry has had a series of meetings with platform providers such as Meta and Tiktok to discuss ways to tackle the issue of social media ownership among children under 13,” she said when contacted.
