Authorities in Singapore have invoked the Online Criminal Harms Act to disable 14 social media posts traced to a China-based platform, calling them a deliberate attempt to incite racial discord. Singapore's Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has directed YouTube, Facebook, and X to block access to 14 social media posts containing inflammatory content targeting the Indian community, in one of the most explicit government responses to date against what it described as a foreign-linked disinformation campaign aimed at fracturing the city-state's multiracial society.
The Singapore Police Force issued the Disabling Directions on Saturday under the Online Criminal Harms Act 2023 (OCHA), a law enacted to give authorities swift powers to compel platforms to remove or restrict content that facilitates criminal activity. The directions require the platforms to take all reasonable steps to prevent Singapore users from accessing the flagged posts.
