Tencent's WeChat and ByteDance 's TikTok have received licenses under a new social media law in Malaysia .

In July 2024 , the Malaysian communications regulator said it would require social media platforms to apply for a license if they have over 8M users in the country.

Rules are aimed at fighting scams, cyberbullying and sexual crimes and if the companies do not obtain a license by Jan. 1, 2025 then legal action could be taken against them.
