KUALA LUMPUR: In this latest episode of Beyond the Headlines, the show discusses the upcoming tabling of the Online Safety Act (Onsa), set to be presented in parliament for its first reading soon.
Host Hazween Hassan is joined by cybersecurity expert Associate Professor Dr Selvakumar Manickam via video call.
On the back of the New Straits Times' exclusive report on the shocking revelation of sexual grooming of minors that went undetected for years, the show's guest helps unpack what Onsa would mean to help curb online harms and better protect minors.
Now, with the MCMC running its public consultation on its draft Code of Conduct for internet messaging and social media service providers, the feedback from the service providers, the public, industry players, and other stakeholders will prove vital in informing authorities on the best way forward with their plans.
