"Meta owns and operates Facebook, Instagram, Threads and WhatsApp. Fahmi said lodging each report to Meta takes between 30 and 45 minutes, with the total man-hours spent by MCMC staff amounting to 22.2 years between January and October 15, 2025. "We should send Meta a bill for all the work we are doing on their behalf," Fahmi said at his weekly press conference here today."
"He said this when asked to comment on a Reuters report alleging that Meta planned to derive 10 per cent of its 2024 revenue - or US$16 billion - from advertising scams and banned goods. Reuters made the revelation after reviewing internal documents belonging to the tech giant. Fahmi said his ministry will conduct a thorough review of the matter."
The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission has worked continuously since January to remove scam and gambling advertisements from Meta-owned platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Threads and WhatsApp. Lodging each report to Meta takes between 30 and 45 minutes, resulting in 22.2 years of cumulative MCMC staff time from January to October 15, 2025. A Reuters report alleges Meta planned to derive 10% of its 2024 revenue (US$16 billion) from advertising scams and banned goods after reviewing internal documents. Meta has refuted the allegations. The Malaysian government will review the matter and may summon Meta for a full explanation. Malaysian ad revenue from Meta in 2023 was about RM2.5 billion, implying potential scam-related earnings could exceed RM250 million if allegations hold.
