  "account": "Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil has described Facebook as the most \"sinful\" platform for the Malaysian public, citing it as the primary source of 78% of gambling content and 53% of scam content online. The government has urged Facebook to reduce its share of harmful content, which is 18% lower than YouTube and 4% lower than TikTok, particularly the gambling content. Facebook once again leads in the percentage of scam content with 53%, followed by TikTok (39%) and Threads (5%). According to Berita Harian, from January 1st to August 17th, Facebook received requests to remove 470,593 pieces of content, of which 436,661 or 93% were accepted for removal. Of these, 64% were found to be gambling content and 27% were identified as scams. Every platform must take proactive measures to monitor, curb, and remove content that clearly violates their guidelines and terms of use. This oversight allows harmful content to continue spreading and increasing the risk to society, Fahmi warned.",
