Malaysia to Implement eKYC for Social Media Platforms
Malaysia aims to protect minors and improve compliance with community standards on digital platforms by implementing electronic Know Your Customer (eKYC) systems.
Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil stated that the requirement aims to prevent children under 13 from opening accounts on social media platforms.
“When I met representatives from social media platforms last month, I made it clear that Malaysia will make identity verification mandatory, especially to prevent children below 13 from having accounts,”
Fahmi told reporters after launching the Nadi on Wheels programme in Sindumin, Sabah.
