Rahayu Mahzam on measures against child sexual exploitation by online platforms
Designated social media services and app stores are required to proactively detect and swiftly remove child sexual exploitation and abuse activity on their platforms, as well as put in place systems and processes to mitigate Singapore users’ exposure to harmful content. The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) regularly assesses their compliance with codes of practice. In the Online Safety Assessment Report for designated social media services published on Mar 31 this year, IMDA placed X under enhanced supervision to hold it accountable to rectify its serious weaknesses. Minister of State for Digital Development and Information Rahayu Mahzam said this in reply to an MP’s questions in parliament on Wednesday (Sep 9).
