Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil schedules discussions with Meta representatives on September 22 regarding Facebook platform concerns. The minister plans to address Class License requirements for Application Service Providers and persistent online gambling advertisements appearing across the social network. Facebook continues rejecting requests to remove gambling-related content and accounts despite Malaysian regulations prohibiting such activities. The platform accepts credit card payments for these banned advertisements while maintaining awareness of their illegal status within Malaysia. Fahmi advocates for dialogue rather than platform restrictions since many citizens depend on Facebook for economic and social purposes.
