00:00Isn't that why MCMC put in place now to monitor social media platforms like this, or why do people have to stop supporting?
00:09At this time, because we don't listen to social media platforms, we still follow the guidelines,
00:18community standards for platforms like Facebook, and also community guidelines for platforms like TikTok.
00:23And these platforms, to be honest, don't need to do anything,
00:28even though MCMC has instructed them, because there is no source of power before this.
00:33So after they are licensed to operate in Malaysia, they need to follow some guidelines.
00:40And one law that will be passed in Parliament in the near future is the Law of Safety in Telecommunication,
00:49or the Online Safety Act, in short, ONSA, which will provide assurances not only in terms of moderation,
00:57such as not to reduce the number of cases of breaches of the law, but also in terms of curation,
01:04which means that these platforms have a responsibility or duty of care to ensure that cases of breaches of the law in our country
01:16do not have a place, which means they need to take more proactive action.
01:22Many countries, such as the United Kingdom, and also several other countries,
01:27they are heading towards content curation, which assurances are given to social media platforms
01:34so that it is not just a report by users, a complaint from the public.
01:41So we will go in that direction.
01:43What sort of punishment are we looking at for these social media platforms if they refuse to take down?
01:49So based on the existing laws, if they break the law, we can refer them to the Online Safety Act.
01:59But when the Online Safety Act is in force, there are a number of penalties that can be imposed.
02:08There are two aspects. One is that the second penalty can be brought to court.
02:13So there are two aspects.
02:15But I can't go into that because we have to discuss it in the Parliament first.
02:19Mr. Rubin, regarding RUU Matic Media, can it be discussed with the IGC?
02:27Yes, the last one is that due to the need to go through the Malaysian Productivity Council or MPC,
02:37they have asked for a regulatory impact assessment or RIA.
02:44But after we have confirmed that there is a pro-tem committee that has helped to do the initial discussion,
02:54provide feedback, and was involved in the process of forming the law, they finally agreed.
03:01And I believe that in the coming weeks, we will hold the first reading in the Parliament.
03:10InshaAllah.
03:11Pray that everything goes well with the King.
