Malaysia's top tech boss slammed giant internet companies for thinking they can ignore government rules. Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil told world leaders that tech giants must follow every country's laws no matter how big they get. The minister spoke at a major technology summit about keeping people safe online. He warned that companies like Facebook and Google cannot act like they are above the law. Fahmi said governments make rules to protect citizens and tech firms better listen up.
The Malaysian official revealed his country leads efforts to create new social media safety rules for Southeast Asia. Malaysia writes guidelines that help neighboring countries deal with dangerous online content. The minister wants all ten ASEAN nations to work together against harmful posts and videos. He believes countries will have more power when they team up against tech giants. Fahmi said the new rules will protect people while still letting them speak freely online.
The safety guidelines give governments and social media companies clear advice about fighting bad content. Malaysia hopes other countries will copy their approach to controlling big tech firms. The minister stressed that each nation keeps its independence while working together. He said ASEAN countries need stronger voices when dealing with powerful internet companies. The guidelines aim to make social media safer for millions of people across Southeast Asia.
