Malaysia to Enforce eKYC Verification for Social Media Platforms
Malaysia will soon make electronic Know Your Customer (eKYC) identity verification compulsory for social media platforms.
This move aims to prevent children under 13 from creating accounts on these websites and apps, according to Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil.
It serves to protect children online and ensure these social media platforms uphold their respective community guidelines.
The minister had informed representatives from social media platforms about the mandatory identity verification requirement during a meeting last month.
The enforcement timeline is yet to be announced, as it will be presented to the Cabinet first.
