Experts: Systemic challenges enable persistent influence networks

Although key parts of a pro-Anwar Ibrahim cybertrooper network have been dismantled following media enquiries in the lead-up to Malaysiakini’s exposé on Tuesday, the official responses from both the government and the platform have left key questions of accountability unanswered.

The Prime Minister's Office has denied any knowledge of or involvement with the network. Meta, meanwhile, stated that its review has not found evidence of violations of its coordinated inauthentic behaviour (CIB) policy.
