On 5 August 2026, AITI hosted the ASEAN Cooperation on Online Safety Workshop at Setia Point, Brunei Darussalam. The workshop brought together regulators from ASEAN Member States and industry representatives, including social media and platform providers, to discuss how regional cooperation can help create a safer online environment.

In his welcoming remarks, Haji Jailani bin Haji Buntar, Chief Executive of AITI, highlighted the opportunities created by digital technologies and social media for communication, innovation and economic growth. He also noted the growing challenges of cyberbullying, online scams, misinformation, harmful content and privacy concerns, as well as the importance of protecting vulnerable users, particularly children and young people.

Participants explored how ASEAN Member States can strengthen online safety through effective legal frameworks, regulatory mechanisms and practical implementation. Discussions also covered the responsibilities of social media providers, including their policies, community standards, content moderation practices, transparency measures and collaboration with key stakeholders.

The discussions supported the ASEAN Digital Masterplan 2026–2030 and ASEAN’s transition from basic connectivity towards connected intelligence.

The workshop’s findings and feedback will help refine the proposed Roadmap on ASEAN Cooperation on Online Safety. AITI will continue to engage relevant stakeholders in supporting the Roadmap’s development and strengthening regional cooperation towards a safer and more trusted digital environment.
