Efforts by the government to introduce a new regulatory framework regarding the use of the Internet through the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission is considered a proactive move to ensure the safety of users on social media platforms, especially for children.
“When we spend too much time on social media, coupled with financial elements, it creates opportunities for cybercriminals to lure victims on the platform,“ he told Bernama when contacted recently. “It’s a move that will make it easier to help people if they are exposed to or become victims of cybercrime. This is because, at this time, if a person becomes a victim of cybercrime, whether it is a scam or cyberbullying, there does not seem to be a single clear solution,“ he said.
She also suggested that digital literacy education be introduced into the curriculum, as schools can play a crucial role in teaching children how to use social media and the Internet more effectively and ethically. “This approach can create valuable experiences for children while fostering open communication between family members. Most importantly, parents should also set an example by reducing their own social media usage in front of their children,” she said.
