Malaysia has blocked access to LGBTQ+ networking and dating sites Grindr and Blued, with authorities reviewing legal measures to curb their apps in the Muslim-majority nation.

The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission, the country’s Internet regulator, is “examining several legislative measures to curb these applications,” the communications ministry said in a written parliamentary reply on Tuesday.
