Mcmc Hits Back At Aic To Hold Public Inquiry On Social Media Licensing



The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has issued an eight-page letter to the Asia Internet Coalition (AIC) to seek clarification and to refute the allegations made recently.
(Soya Cincau) – AIC, an organisation representing several tech giants, has issued an open letter to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to raise concerns about the latest framework requiring applicable social media and instant messaging platforms to acquire a licence by the end of this year.
 
AIC has issued 3 versions of the open-letter The MCMC asked the AIC if it has obtained the necessary authorisation to issue the letter on behalf of the listed tech giants which were listed in the letter. A total of 3 versions of the letter were issued with the first copy dated 23 August 2024 listing 17 brands which included Grab, Google, Apple, Meta, Amazon, Spotify, Rakuten, X, Fedex and LinkedIn. This is followed by an amended copy dated 26 August which only listed 6 brands – Meta, LinkedIn, Apple, Amazon, Google and X. The brand logos were subsequently removed in the latest revision (also dated 26 August).
The line “No platform can be expected to register under these conditions” was also removed in the second version.
Three versions of AIC’s open letter to the PM Grab stated on 26th August 2024, clarifying that it was not informed or consulted about the open letter to the PM. It also iterated that the proposed regulation does not impact its eHailing and delivery operations and they had no part in it.
Grab’s statement denies involvement in the open letter. The open letter was only signed off by Jeff Paine, the Managing Director of AIC. X Corp (formerly Twitter) representative Lynn Ampolpittayanant and Meta’s representative Senura Abeywardena are the current EXCO members at AIC.
MCMC refutes allegations of no engagement with stakeholders The MCMC said it categorically denies all of AIC’s allegations levelled against the licensing framework for online service providers (OSPs) under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (CMA 1998) in the letter and they have shown evidence that there was indeed an engagement and consultation with the organisation.
It shared that AIC had requested for an engagement with MCMC regarding concerns on online harms and social media regulation framework on 9th May 2024 and an engagement session with AIC was conducted on 28th May 2024. MCMC attached a photo from the engagement session which AIC’s Secretariat representatives Sarthak Luthra and Edika Amin attended in person.
Engagement session held between MCMC and the AIC MCMC strongly refutes the allegation that no formal public consultation was held and insists that all reasonable steps to engage, facilitate and assist the OSPs in the compliance journey had been taken. This included extensive dialogue and careful consideration of inputs from all relevant parties.
