The government does not conduct censorship or classification of content in allowing or disallowing any form of application or platform to be utilised by Internet users, according to Fahmi Fadzil.

The Communications and Digital Minister said in his reply to Batu MP P. Prabakaran on Thursday (Feb 23) that at present, the government does not issue any licence to any social media platform provider,  including instant messaging applications, but for applications that clearly violate the provisions of the law such as fraud and impersonation, appropriate action can be taken against them, including blocking the applications from being used by users in Malaysia.

Meanwhile, Fahmi said the government will assess the importance of creating a cross-ministerial committee to examine the effects of cyber and digital use on young people and aspects of digital security from time to time.
