Tech Giants Request Pause on Malaysia License Plan

Tech Giants Seek Clarity on Malaysia's Licensing Proposal

In a significant development, an Asian industry group that includes major players like Google, Meta, and X has urged the Malaysian government to reconsider its recent proposal. This plan demands that social media platforms with over eight million users in Malaysia apply for a license. The Asia Internet Coalition (AIC), representing these tech giants along with other members like Apple Inc, Amazon, and Grab, argues that the regulations lack clarity and could impose unnecessary burdens on businesses.
