Deepfake porn incident involving Johor students highlights need for digital safety protocols in Malaysian schools, says Teo Nie Ching
KUALA LUMPUR, April 12 — Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching has called for stronger digital safety measures in all schools in Malaysia following a case involving AI-generated obscene images of students.
The Star reported that Teo confirmed 38 individuals had been identified as victims, with the youngest reportedly only 12 or 13 years old.
“The six initially involved had just graduated from secondary school, but the scope of this incident is far wider and more disturbing,” she said at a press conference at the Kulai MP office in Taman Tropika today.
“It shows just how serious this issue has become,” she said.
