00:00A reminder before watching the video
00:01There's more content on trending websites.
00:04Entering June
00:05Youth under 16
00:07Policies to ban social media
00:09It officially started.
00:10Of course, with the new policy in effect
00:12There also needs to be an adaptation period.
00:14Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission
00:16MCMC issued a statement today announcing
00:18All identified
00:19Users under the age of 16
00:21There will be a month.
00:23Go download or transfer
00:24The information in their account
00:26Including their photos and videos
00:28One month later
00:30Social media platforms will take action against these accounts.
00:32Restricted use
00:33Suspend account bans or other related measures
00:37As for the platform, it will also receive
00:39A six-month transition period
00:41Age verification measures will be implemented in phases.
00:44Another question is
00:46Which platforms are restricted?
00:48MCMC pointed out
00:49All licensed social media service providers
00:52Including Facebook
00:53Instagram
00:54TikTok and YouTube
00:55This must be implemented starting today.
00:57Strict security measures
00:59What does this mean?
01:01Social media platforms must ensure
01:03Only users aged 16 and above
01:05Only then can you register an account and use the platform's functions.
01:08All netizens who want to register a new account
01:10Must be based on official records issued by the Malaysian government.
01:13Like a Malaysian identity card
01:15passport
01:15National Digital Identity
01:17My Digital ID
01:18Or a recognized foreign document
01:21Age verification
01:22The rules are quite strict.
01:24But...
01:25Although the MCMC announced the policy launch today in a high-profile manner
01:29However, the actual implementation level does not seem to have fully caught up.
01:34Where is the reporter from Xinzhou Daily?
01:35Tests were conducted today.
01:36Born in 2012
01:38The fake age of 14 years old
01:40Go register a brand new Instagram account
01:43The result was...
01:44The system did not require any identification.
01:48Just provide your mobile phone number
01:50You will be able to open a new account smoothly.
01:52All functions can be used as usual.
01:55What about the other thing?
01:56Some respondents under the age of 16 also admitted to Xinzhou that
01:58They created their Instagram account years ago using a false age.
02:02I can still log in smoothly today.
02:05There was absolutely no obstruction
02:07Then let's speculate.
02:08It could be due to the verification mechanisms of different platforms.
02:10It is still under adjustment and will be implemented later.
02:13That level of cooperation with social media platforms
02:16Communications Minister Fahmi today at the National Prince's Palace
02:19After attending the investiture ceremony
02:20He specifically named major tech giants.
02:22These large social media platforms
02:25If you want to develop your business in Malaysia
02:27Therefore, we must abide by every law of our country.
02:30Especially when it comes to children's online safety
02:32and laws protecting children
02:33Fami pointed out
02:35Mandatory age verification for social media registration
02:38This is just the first step in protecting children from online harm.
02:41The government will take further action.
02:44A strong crackdown on social media platforms that violate regulations.
02:48We will absolutely not allow platforms to be above the laws of the country.
02:52Training and security personnel
