Malaysia is considering legal action against Meta Platforms for failing to remove scam advertisements and fake accounts.
Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil stated the company has not addressed accounts impersonating the Malaysian royal family.
The government may pursue legal measures under the upcoming Online Safety Act.
Authorities discovered more than 15,000 fake accounts linked to royal family members.
Officials identified hundreds of thousands of scam-related posts within a few months.
This development presents a significant regulatory challenge for Meta in Southeast Asia.
