Singapore tells Facebook to correct a post on its social media platform under a new ‘fake news’ law, after a user declined a government request to do so
) to correct a post on its social media platform under a new ‘fake news’ law, after a user declined a government request to do so.
The move, coming as the Asian city-state gears up for an election, is the first real test of a measure that took effect last month, stoking fears it could stifle free speech and chill dissent. But government officials have rejected such concerns. Tan, who does not live in Singapore and says he is an Australian citizen, said he would not comply with the request.
Facebook has previously said it was “concerned with aspects of the new law which grant broad powers to the Singapore executive branch to compel us to remove content they deem to be false and to push a government notification to users”.
