Fahmi Fadzil: M’sian Govt Will Extend Malaysia’s Policy Against Pornographic Content to X (Twitter)

Earlier this week, it was announced that Elon Musk will be allowing for X (formerly known as Twitter) users to post and share pornographic content. In X’s latest guidelines for adult content, the adult content has to be properly labeled and not prominently displayed.

Considering our country’s conservative views, this obviously didn’t sit well with our government.

According to a report by BERNAMA, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil shared that the Malaysian government will stand firm to uphold our country’s policies as the actions of the social media platform to allow adult content is unacceptable and is in clear violation of Malaysian laws.

“We will extend the government’s firm stance, our national policy, to X.”

“I believe (Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commissions (MCMC) Chief Operating Officer) Datuk Mohd Ali will ensure that all platforms, not just X, understand that certain activities, such as online gambling, dissemination of pornographic materials, and other prohibited content as per our national laws, are not tolerated on these platforms, including those happening on X,” he said.

Do you think that X will disallow pornographic content for Malaysia with the government’s intervention or will Malaysians end up losing access to X because of this?
