  "account": "Malaysian Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil has described Facebook as the most \"sinful\" platform affecting Malaysian citizens, according to the Berita Harian report. The minister attributed 78% of the platform's faults to gambling content and 53% to scams. He urged the platform to reduce its content significantly, noting that it contributed to 18% more than YouTube and 4% more than TikTok. Facebook once again recorded the highest percentage of scams at 53%, followed by TikTok (39%) and Threads (5%).\n\nThe minister pointed out that as of January 1 to August 17, Facebook received 470,593 requests for content removal, of which 436,661 or 93% were approved by the platform. Of this, 64% involved gambling content and 27% involved fraud. Every platform must take proactive measures to monitor, control, and reduce the dissemination of clearly violating their guidelines and terms of use, he added. The delay in action allows misleading content to spread further, increasing the risk to society, the minister stated.",
