Malaysia issues operating licences to WeChat and TikTok under new social media law

Credited from: REUTERS

  • Malaysia's communications regulator has issued licences for WeChat and TikTok to operate under a newly implemented social media law.
  • This law, effective from January 1, 2024, requires platforms with over 8 million users to obtain a licence or face penalties.
  • Additional platforms, such as Telegram and Meta Platforms, are in the process of compliance, while X claims it does not meet the user threshold.
  • The law seeks to address increasing cybercrime and harmful content on social media, including scams and child exploitation.
  • Non-compliance with licensing requirements may lead to investigation and regulatory actions against platforms.
