MCMC said that an audio clip, allegedly recorded during an internal meeting and widely circulated online, was removed by Facebook (Meta) for violating the platform’s content policies.
In a statement today, MCMC said the removal was made entirely based on Meta’s community guidelines and content standards.
The commission added that monitoring and investigations were initiated following public complaints.
“MCMC takes seriously the act of uploading or sharing audio or video content without consent, especially when it potentially violates privacy, contains offensive material, spreads misinformation, or causes unnecessary distress to those involved.
“We urge all parties to exercise greater caution when sharing content on digital platforms,” the statement read.
MCMC further cautioned that the dissemination of unauthorised or provocative content may result in legal action under existing laws, including the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.
Yesterday, MalaysiaNow published an audio clip tied to the allegation that a coal mining exploration licence in Sabah was approved for a company linked to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s former aide, Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak.
On July 21, the portal published documents allegedly proving that Farhash received authorisation to prospect for minerals across a massive forest reserve in Sabah.
Farhash had dismissed the report as fake, slapping MalaysiaNow with a legal letter and lodging a police report against the portal.
