‘MCMC is tracking down the individuals, and to MCMC’s knowledge, some of them were involved in prostitution activities before and punished but were found to be involved in vice again but in a different form and using other services.

‘This is one of the reasons why we are deeply concerned and are taking several strict measures regarding online safety, among others, we insist that children, aged 13 and below, are banned from using any social media application,’ he told reporters after attending his ministry’s monthly assembly here today.

Previously, it went viral on the X, about the humiliating photo editing activities which receiv
