(中央社吉隆坡31日綜合外電報導)馬來西亞網路安全新制今天上路,要求各大社群媒體平台驗證用戶年齡,禁止16歲以下兒少註冊帳號,同時須強化內容管理,違者最重可罰新台幣7900萬元。

法新社報導,這項新規定適用於馬來西亞擁有800萬以上用戶的社群媒體,包括臉書(Facebook)、Instagram、TikTok和YouTube。

馬來西亞通訊及多媒體委員會(MCMC)表示,當局將給予這些平台「寬限期」以落實相關措施,但未說明具體期程。

根據政府發布的相關問答集,未滿16歲的用戶今天起將不得註冊社群媒體帳號,各平台預計將實施「年齡驗證措施」,包括比對政府核發的身分證或護照等官方文件進行查核。

此外,社群媒體也須強化內容管理,平台必須「主動採取系統性措施,以降低有害內容風險」,例如建立「檢舉與回應機制、廣告商驗證措施,以及在適當情況下標示經變造的內容」。

馬來西亞通訊及多媒體委員會表示,相關企業若未遵守上述2項規定,最高可開罰1000萬馬來西亞令吉(約新台幣7900萬元)。

澳洲去年12月成為全球首個要求TikTok、YouTube、Snapchat等主要平台移除未滿16歲用戶帳號的國家,否則將面臨鉅額罰款。

印尼同樣將監管青少年網路使用權的責任歸咎於平台方,並於今年3月強制實施未滿16歲禁用社群媒體的禁令,未來擬擴大適用至「所有數位平台」,同時研擬將網購平台一併納管。

Open Questions

  • What is the specific timeline for the grace period given to platforms?
  • What specific age verification methods will be considered acceptable?
  • How will the MCMC enforce these regulations and monitor compliance?
  • What are the detailed criteria for 'harmful content' that platforms must mitigate?
