PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has published a report on the Public Consultation on the Draft Code of Conduct (Best Practices) for Internet Messaging Service Providers and Social Media Service Providers.
In a statement on Wednesday (Dec 18), MCMC said the public consultation session, which ended on Nov 5, was to seek feedback from various stakeholders, including service providers, industry players and the public.
The public consultation was to obtain views to refine and improve the draft Code of Conduct (Best Practices) before its publication as industry best practice by Jan 1, 2025.
"The Code of Conduct (Best Practices) aims to foster a safer online environment for all Malaysians, with a specific focus on the protection of children and vulnerable groups," the statement said.
MCMC appreciates the feedback and commitment shown by all parties and their views helped to ensure that the Code of Conduct (Best Practices) is clear, flexible and practical.
"This contribution is important to support efforts to create a safer and more secure online environment.
"While the final version of the Code of Conduct (Best Practice) will be published in the near future, the public consultation report now available provides an overview of the feedback received," said MCMC.
