In a statement today, MCMC said the removal was made entirely based on Meta's community guidelines and content standards. The commission added that monitoring and investigations were initiated following public complaints.

MCMC further cautioned that the dissemination of unauthorised or provocative content may result in legal action under existing laws, including the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.
