  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR: Content creators, influencers and social media users are reminded to maintain decorum, considerate behavior and humanity when producing content, particularly concerning the recent situation involving former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. Communications Minister Datuk Seri Fahmi Fadzil emphasized that while many are keen on knowing about Dr Mahathir's health condition, not everything should be turned into news or social media posts.\n\nTechnology may change and we may hold different views, Fahmi stated in a video shared on X last night. He urged everyone to grant Dr Mahathir and his family the necessary space and time to mourn after the passing of Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali. Dr Mahathir's son, Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir, had previously requested that the family's privacy be respected during their mourning period.\n\nFahmi also cautioned social media users against spreading speculative posts, insensitive artificial intelligence (AI)-generated content or inappropriate comments. He stressed that if one encounters humiliating content, insensitive AI material or posts wishing harm upon others, such material should not be shared, commented upon or given views. If such content is observed, Fahmi advised reporting it directly to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) or the police.",
