KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 29 — The enforcement of the Deeming Provision for all major internet messaging and social media service providers, effective January 1, 2026, has brought relief to parents navigating the challenges of raising children in the digital age.

In general, many parents view the automatic registration of service providers with eight million or more users in Malaysia as more than just a policy change; they see it as a necessary measure to ensure comprehensive monitoring of children’s online activities.
