  "summary": "Southeast Asian nations should establish common minimum safeguards to protect children from commercial risks in the digital economy, according to the Communications and Multimedia Content Forum of Malaysia. At the Asean ICT Forum on Child Online Protection in Manila, Mediha Mahmood, the CEO of the forum, proposed several measures, including clearer advertising disclosures, protection for under-18 creators, and safer brand collaborations. These recommendations were presented during a panel discussion titled \"Behind the Feed,\" which addressed child safety in digital advertising and the influencer ecosystem. Mahmood emphasized that children's involvement in the digital economy exposes them to commercial risks that are often overlooked, and that protecting children cannot be left solely to parents and children. She also highlighted Malaysia's efforts to address these risks through the recently registered fourth edition of the Content Code, as well as the forum's proposed Influencer and Brand Collaboration Guidelines and Gaming Sub-Code, which cover children's privacy, advertising transparency, protection for young creators, age-appropriate gaming, and safer online interactions.",
