Media Influence and Propaganda

March 21

Under the purview of Technology and Services Impact, Malaysia Airlines' decision to establish a Cultural Advisory Board appears intended to tailor in-flight entertainment to regional cultural sensitivities.

The nuanced implications of this policy warrant a moderately positive score, acknowledging both its intent to align with diverse cultural standards and the potential drawbacks of self-regulated content filtering.
