PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) said it is speeding up the review of the online content management framework in order to combat the proliferation of harmful and provocative online content.
"It is apt that the regulatory framework be reviewed given the current situation online that perpetuates the spread of content detrimental to national security and harmony, including elements of extreme ideology and fake news," MCMC interim chairman Tan Sri Mohamad Salim Fateh Din said in a statement.
