Consider This: Social Media Licensing (Part 2) — Digital Democracy at Risk?
Malaysia’s new regulatory framework for social media platforms and internet messaging services will kick into effect on January 1, 2025. It will require platforms that have at least eight million registered users in the country to apply for an annual operating licence with the Malaysian government.
