On 22 October 2024, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) opened a public consultation on the draft Code of Conduct (Best Practices) for Internet Messaging and Social Media Service Providers, open until 5 November 2024. The consultation follows the introduction of a licensing framework for internet messaging and social media services, announced on 1 August 2024 and set to be effective from 1 January 2025. The proposed draft code of conduct aims to create a safe online environment for Malaysians, particularly children and vulnerable groups at high risk of exposure to harmful content.
