Google and Musk’s X miss Malaysia's social media licensing deadline; WeChat and TikTok compliant

Credited from: SCMP

  • Google and Elon Musk’s X failed to register for a social media license in Malaysia by the January 1 deadline.
  • Chinese platforms WeChat and TikTok successfully complied with the new licensing rules from Malaysia's Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).
  • The MCMC mandated that platforms with over 8 million users must obtain a license by January 1, 2025, to combat cybercrimes.
  • X claims its user base in Malaysia is below the threshold; however, the MCMC is reviewing this stance.
  • Meta faces criticism for inadequate response to removing harmful content; it has begun the licensing process for its platforms, including Facebook and Instagram.
