Fahmi said further clarification on the matter will be provided during the Minister's Question Time (MQT) session in Parliament Thursday (Jan 22). Meanwhile, Fahmi said current MCMC data showed that takedown requests involving content on X stood at about 50% as of Wednesday, which he described as a moderate figure. Fahmi said he has also instructed his team to establish closer cooperation channels with X to ensure a safer Internet environment, particularly for children and families. On Jan 11, MCMC imposed a temporary restriction on access to Grok for users in Malaysia following repeated misuse of the AI to generate pornographic and sexually explicit content. Following the move, Fahmi was reported as saying that MCMC was reviewing possible legal action against X over its AI application Grok's failure to comply with Malaysian online safety laws.
