KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 1 (Bernama) -- Internet users in Malaysia can expect to see significant changes in online safety following the enforcement of the Online Safety Act 2025 (ONSA), which takes effect from today.
According to a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document issued by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), users can anticipate more consistent and proportionate safety measures from online platforms.
This includes clearer safety information and guidelines, easier ways to report harmful content, more responsive assistance, and better tools and settings to control who can search for, contact, or interact with them.
The MCMC says that for services likely to be used by children, stronger protections are expected to be rolled out in phases.
According to the FAQ, this may include “safer default settings, stronger privacy safeguards, and greater control over interactions”.
