Singapore is considering plans to set up a special ministerial committee to assess the impact of “online falsehoods” and recommend how it should respond, potentially backtracking on a previous proposal to introduce legislation.
The country’s Ministry of Communications and Information and Ministry of Law released a “green paper” detailing the need to establish a “select committee”, comprising several MPs. This would be presented in parliament on January 10, which then would decide on whether one should be created to “study the problem of deliberate online falsehoods” and offer recommendations on how the country should respond.
