KUALA LUMPUR: Only platform providers can block or remove social media content and accounts, not the government, says Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil.

"When content is taken down or an account is blocked, it means the platform acknowledges and complies with existing laws and believes that the content has breached these laws," he said at a press conference after launching the Nadi Aspirasi Nasional Bersama Anak Muda (Nanba) programme here on Saturday (June 28).
