As promised by X since last May, the Block feature that prevents certain accounts from reading your tweets has now been changed. Accounts blocked by users can now read tweets but they can no longer interact with the tweets sent. So, what should you know about it?

Social media platform X started supporting passkey on apps for Android devices yesterday. This function increases account security and simplifies the login process. This kind of feature was first introduced to iOS users in the United States last January and then expanded to the rest of the world in April.

Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil today urged all social media platform providers in the country to put disclosures for AI-generated content on their platforms. This is to avoid any unwanted incidents from happening.

As more companies build AI models, the question of data privacy becomes increasingly important. For some platforms, users are notified about data being used for training AI models and are sometimes given the choice to opt out. However, that doesn't seem to be the case for Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter).

Since Twitter was taken over by Elon Musk and rebranded to X, the social media platform's revenue has declined. Then more and more advertisers withdraw from this platform. This makes X look for various new ways to generate income. One of them is to develop its own payment system. So, what should you know about it?

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.

X has now announced that it will use public data and users of the X platform (formerly known as Twitter), in training an artificial intelligence-based assistant, named Grok AI. With this move, Grok is expected to be able to offer more up-to-date and trend-based input and feedback to users.

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.

Deputy Minister of Communications Teo Nie Ching in Parliament today revealed that the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has blocked 549 porn sites and 69 prostitution websites from January to 1 June this year. She also revealed that MCMC had collaborated with social media operators to remove similar items on the latter’s platforms.

Indonesia is planning to ban the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) following the latter’s decision to allow users to post adult content on the platform. Indonesia’s Communications Minister Budi Arie Setiadi has already sent a warning letter to X related to the matter.
