Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) will take proactive steps to ensure that Zionist propaganda does not penetrate the country's cyberspace. So, what should you know about it?
No room for Israel's propaganda
For your information, the government agency will continue to scrutinise social media platform algorithms to block any false or misleading content that may come from the Israeli regime.
In addition, the government will hold an engagement session with social media operators to convey Malaysia's firm stance on this issue. He said the social media operators have agreed to the government's demands.
Moreover, if there is Zionist propaganda that still escapes government censorship and appears in Malaysians' social media feeds, he warns the public not to be fooled by it.
For example, there is a viral claim that several Global Sumud Flotilla ships were attacked by Israeli commandos when they did not even happen.
The government also expressed firmness to TikTok over the issue of the appointment of a former Israeli Defence Force (IDF) trainee as a content manager in the United States, which they believe is not good for the TikTok ecosystem.
