Malaysia plans Meta meeting over illegal gambling ads on Facebook
Malaysia’s Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil plans to meet Meta executives on 22 September to discuss illegal gambling advertisements on Facebook. Fadzil said gambling content makes up most material removed from the platform and criticised Meta for continuing to process payments for such ads; the government has ruled out banning the service and will discuss licensing requirements.
The talks may affect Meta’s controls on gambling advertising and payment processing in Malaysia.
