Singapore rolls out tougher measures to tackle online harms
New measures to tackle harmful online content will take effect from 29 June. They will give the Online Safety Commission power to order the removal of harmful content, block access for Singapore users and, in some cases, require app stores to remove social media platforms. Victims can also pursue civil claims under the Online Safety (Relief and Accountability) Act, providing faster and clearer avenues for protection and accountability. Nicolas Ng reports.
