Malaysia minister plans Meta talks over illegal gambling advertisements
Malaysia Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil plans to meet Meta representatives on 22 September to discuss illegal online gambling advertisements on Facebook. Fahmi said most content removed from the platform involved gambling ads or related posts, and alleged Meta had not blocked credit-card payments for such ads; he said the government preferred dialogue to punitive measures.
The meeting could affect how Meta handles illegal gambling advertising and payments in Malaysia.
