Social media platforms themselves remove content, not just on govt's request, says Teo

KUALA LUMPUR: Social media platforms remove content on their own volition, not just on request of the government through the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), says Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching.

"Content removal carried out by platform providers is subject to their own considerations and evaluations based on abuse reports from platform users and requests from authorities.
