PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The government has always taken the stand of defending media freedom including social media but it should not be abused, says Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah.
Referring to the advertisement promoting gambling with a Hari Raya theme, Saifuddin said even though the government practises media freedom, it is also responsible for taking the appropriate action if there are matters which cross the legal boundary. We know in this digital community, it is almost impossible to control everything. So we understand the situation of life in the digital society.
“The government will defend the freedom of the media including social media but there are limits, ” he told a media conference on the Hari Raya-themed gambling advertisement here Sunday (April 18).
