Singapore's Parliament Passes Law Targeting Harmful Content Online

Singapore’s parliament passed a law giving authorities more powers to block harmful content on social media platforms, from TikTok to Instagram and Facebook, the city state’s latest move to curb online harms. Under the the Online Safety (Relief and Accountability) Bill, known as OSRA, authorities will be empowered to require Internet companies — including major social media platforms — to remove content deemed harmful, such as material promoting sexual abuse or online bullying.
