New plan
- Malaysia’s Communications Ministry wants Meta to extend additional restrictions on under-18 users worldwide.
- Deputy Minister Teo Nie Ching said the move should align with Malaysia’s own efforts to restrict social media access for minors.
Malaysia wants Meta to take its restrictions on teenage users beyond the United States and apply them globally.
Communications Deputy Minister Teo Nie Ching said additional measures for users under 18 should not remain limited to the U.S. She said the approach should match Malaysia’s current efforts to enforce restrictions on social media access for minors.
The ministry’s request calls for a broader response from the platform as Malaysia moves ahead with its own policy on underage access.
