On 24 June 2025, numerous Facebook group administrators reported sudden bans affecting their communities, many of which were flagged for "terrorism-related content" or nudity—despite focusing on harmless topics like parenting, gaming, pets, and online deals.

Meta has acknowledged the issue and is currently rolling out a fix.

Facebook is making a big change to how videos appear on its platform. Starting in early July 2025, all newly uploaded videos—regardless of length or format—will automatically be published as Reels. This update applies to both personal profiles and Facebook Pages, and will roll out globally in stages.

If you're working in the public sector, here’s a heads-up: civil servants in Malaysia have been reminded not to use TikTok, Facebook, or any other personal social media during working hours—unless it's specifically part of their official duties.

Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil has revealed that Facebook, TikTok and YouTube have agreed to remove 159,518 pieces of harmful content as of 11 June in Malaysia. He added that this figure was part of 174,473 online content takedown requests made so far this year.

At the Meta Marketing Summit today, Meta Malaysia also shared that more than 60% of usage on Instagram and Facebook now involves videos, thus showing that the Reels feature on both platforms is the main focus of users compared to text or image sharing. So, what should you know about it?

As the world's number one social media platform, Facebook has over 2 billion daily active users. So to ensure content gets noticed, various tactics are used to promote content with spam tactics being widely used. This could be in the form of visuals that are not in line with the content and using bots to leave comments so that they can then be promoted by the algorithm. So, what should you know about it?

Over the years, Facebook has become a platform where businesses try to sell their products with various sponsored posts. Good thing that the company hasn't forgotten its roots, as it has announced a new Friends Tab coming to the platform soon.

Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil recently revealed that Facebook, TikTok, WhatsApp and Telegram have been identified as the most preferred platforms for scammers to commit fraud in Malaysia. He added that losses from scams and fraud on these 4 platforms had easily reached hundreds of millions of ringgit.

In a recent Threads post, Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook stated that “glasses will be the next major computing platform”. While he has been rather inaccurate before (Metaverse, etc.), with the recent Meta Smart Glasses, this could be quite feasible. However, with the previous failure of Google Glass, it raises the question of “are users ready for it?”

From time to time, some websites and platforms would crash due to server issues. But which one got the most outages of 2024? Ookla did some research from Downdetector and unsurprisingly, Facebook is leading the pack.
