Malaysia ne naye regulations enforce karna shuru kar diya hai jo 16 saal se kam umar ke bacchon ko social media accounts rakhne ya chalane se rokti hai. Yeh countries ki growing list mein shaamil ho gaya hai jo young users ke liye online safety measures tight kar rahe hain. Monday se shuru hui yeh rules mandate karti hain ki social media platforms ko strong age-verification systems implement karne honge aur 16 saal se kam users ke liye automatically account creation block kar dena hoga.
