Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil today revealed that the 1st version of the code of conduct for social media platforms will be enforced starting 1 January 2025. He added that engagement sessions with all social media platform stakeholders will be held soon to create the code of conduct.

Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil has revealed that Meta’s social media platforms lead other platforms in complying with Malaysian laws. On the flip side, X (formerly Twitter) is the worst offender.

Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil has revealed that he will meet with all social media platform providers in Malaysia at the end of this month. The meeting is meant to address the management of cyberbullying issues in our country.

Producing "content" for social media is now a real career and not just a part-time job. TikTok which was once labelled as a small social media platform for teenagers is now used by brands to sell products and politicians like Biden and Trump also use it despite wanting to ban it. Recently TikTok Symphony was launched with it offering several AI-based features to facilitate content production.

If you're following the TikTok vs US story, you probably know the company was told to sell or face a permanent ban. TikTok has refused and retaliated with a lawsuit last month, so the latter outcome seems inevitable. But reports now claim TikTok is looking for ways to get around the issue.

Other platforms want to be TikTok, but TikTok also wants to copy other platforms. That's probably just the nature of businesses, so seeing TikTok testing out adopted features isn't unusual. Having said that, what do you think of longer TikTok videos?

TikTok has now filed a lawsuit against the United States government. More specifically, an extension of new legislation that forces TikTok to sell their company to firms in the United States or the app will be banned in the country. That said, what should you know about it?

Previously, we mentioned how DJi drones could be banned in the USA. Looks like the drama is not ending anytime soon. Recently, a report said the USA wants ByteDance to sell CapCut too. That said, what should you know about it?

Previously, we mentioned how ByteDance was given time to sell TikTok before it was banned in the USA. This time, the same congress could also ban DJI drones. That said, what should you know about it?

Previously, we mentioned that the US has passed a bill to ban TikTok. Today, President Joe Biden signed a bill forcing Bytedance to sell TikTok if it wants to continue operating in the United States. The bill is now in force and gives Bytedance 270 days to sell, with this period extendable by another three months. That said, what should you know about it?
