KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Malaysia's government said Friday it will take legal action against Facebook's parent company, Meta Platforms, for failing to remove “undesirable” and harmful content from its social media platform.

The Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission said Facebook has recently been plagued by a “a significant volume of undesirable content” relating to sensitive issues on race, religion and royalty as well as defamation, impersonation, online gambling and scam advertisements.
