‘Only platform providers can remove social media content’


KUALA LUMPUR: Blocking or removing social media content or accounts can only be carried out by platform providers, says Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil.

The government, he said, has no authority to instruct social media platform providers to take such actions, which are only carried out if the content or account is found to have violated the law.
