KUALA LUMPUR, July 7 — Internet Service Providers are required to make every effort to prevent criminal conduct on their platforms and promptly remove any online harm in view of the growing number of public complaints related to abuse of network facilities and services.

The main areas of concern regarding online harms include the dissemination of child sexual abuse material, online gambling, content inciting racial or religious discontent, scams and phishing, the sale and promotion of illegal drugs and prohibited substances, impersonation, the spread of disinformation and fake news, and the unlicensed sale of health products, read the statement.

Henceforth, it would require the commitment of ISPs in allocating sufficient resources, and expertise to promptly ensure that the requirements of this Section are met, said MCMC.
