 protects persons against harassment and harmful social behavior such as cyber bullying and unlawful stalking, as well as the publication of false statements of fact about any person. Perpetrators can be both individuals and organisations. Individual suffering from such harassment or social behavior, a victim, may apply for a protection order if he or she is able to show, inter alia, that the perpetrator of harassment, through threatening, abusive or insulting communication, has: (i) caused harassment, alarm or distress to the victim through the intention to use or make any threatening, abusive or insulting communication; or (ii) caused the victim to believe that violence will be used or provoked against him or her. Where a protection order has been granted by the Singapore courts under the relevant provisions of the Protection from Harassment Act 2014 of Singapore in relation to online harassment that has been perpetrated, the perpetrator may be required to take down the offending communication and may also be required to comply with any other conditions set by the courts. In addition, the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act 2019 of Singapore (“ POFMA”) counters the proliferation of online falsehoods. Under the POFMA, it is an offence to, inter alia, knowingly communicate a false statement of fact which is likely to be prejudicial to the security of Singapore or any part of Singapore. To the extent that our platforms or services transmit or allow our users to access third-party online content, we would be an internet intermediary under the POFMA. POFMA empowers any Singapore government minister to direct the POFMA Office, situated within IMDA that is responsible for the administration of POFMA, to issue certain directions to internet intermediaries whose service has been used to communicate material that contains or consists of a false statement of fact in Singapore if the minister is of the opinion that it would be in the public interest to do so. Such directions would include (a) targeted correction directions, which require the internet intermediary to communicate a correction notice on its service to all end-users in Singapore who accessed the offending false statement of fact by means of its service after a specified time; and (b) disabling directions, which require the internet intermediary to disable access by end-users in Singapore to the offending false statement of fact being communicated on or through its service. Internet intermediaries may be fined or have their access to their online location by Singapore end-users disabled if they fail to comply with directions issued under POFMA without reasonable excuse. There are also various other content regulation laws in
