Tackling Tech-Facilitated Harm via Digital Resilience and Platform Accountability
Policy Brief on tech-facilitated harms in Malaysia
- Tech-facilitated harms in Malaysia are evolving rapidly, impacting civil society organisations (CSOs), vulnerable communities and the overall democratic participation.
- Bad-faith actors—including state-linked groups, extremist networks, influence operations and transnational syndicates—exploit platform design, algorithms and other
systemic gaps to cause real- world harm. - CSOs lack capacity in data sharing, analysis and coordination. The Knowledge
Hub offers a proof-of-concept to strengthen collective capacity through toolkits on data collection, digital
storytelling and digital safety. - Malaysia needs a rights-based digital governance model that combines prevention and enforcement, backed by transparency, independent oversight and active civil
society participation.
