Internet Users Cautioned Over Sensitive News, Pictures

I don't believe this ????

(Bernama) -- Deputy Internal Security Minister Datuk Fu Ah Kiow today reminded Internet users against circulating sensitive news or pictures that can jeopardise public order and security.

He said that while the government did not filter Internet content, it did not mean that Internet users were immune from prosecution.

"If we find anyone circulating news or pictures that can post a threat to public safety, we will take action," he told reporters after a Chinese New Year celebration organised by the Kuantan Chinese Consultants Committee here today.

He was asked to comment on the circulation of pictures of local illegal motorcycle racers or "Mat Rempit" on a website managed by a company using a server abroad.

Asked whether action will be taken against the company, Fu said it would be difficult to trace the company as its server was located overseas.

Fu also reminded Internet surfers to be wary of and not be easily influenced by the news and pictures circulated in cyberspace.
