KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Malaysia has denied it’s clamping down on social media after an outcry over an announcement that all video production must be licensed amid a row with news broadcaster Al-Jazeera. The communications minister sparked confusion after saying every film and video, including those produced by media groups and social media users, must comply with a 1981 Film Act that requires licensing. He was asked about the issue in Parliament after Al-Jazeera refuted claims it needed a license to produce a July 3 news documentary on the treatment of undocumented immigrants. Police have opened an investigation after officials complained the documentary was inaccurate and biased. Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim has criticized media harassment under new Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin.
