Hey squad! 👋 In this week’s Asia News Wrap, Malaysia is rolling out mandatory age verification for social media. Let’s break it down:
What’s Changing? 🤔
Soon, all social media users in Malaysia will have to prove their age – think a quick ID check – before logging into apps like TikTok, Instagram and Facebook.
Why Should You Care? 🌐
Watching reels, jumping on trending challenges or sliding into DMs is fun—but it exposes younger users to risks like adult content and cyberbullying. An age gate helps keep the vibe safe and age-appropriate.
Next Steps 🚀
Details on the verification process are still in the pipeline. Stay tuned for updates so you can keep your social game strong and secure. We’ll fill you in once the official guidelines drop!
Stay woke, stay safe! ✌️
