“Some people may say that complaints are not good, but we view complaints from a different perspective. “What we have realised is that, there will always be recycled (fake) news or content – at least four times a month,” he said. Up to last month, Zulkarnain said, three cases of fake news had been brought to court. He also said MCMC was bracing for an increase in complaints of fake news and content next year due to the upcoming election. Other complaints were on false content, including online impersonation and fake news (1,203), obscene content or posts (783), indecent content and posts (77), and menacing content or posts (10), he said.
