Source: Allen & GledhillAlso reported by Squire Patton Boggs

Singapore’s Parliament passed the Online Safety (Relief and Accountability) Bill on 5 November 2025. It creates an Online Safety Commission that can order content removed, accounts restricted, sites blocked and apps removed across 13 harm categories, including intimate image abuse and inauthentic material abuse. Victims also get statutory torts to sue posters, group administrators and platforms that fail to act on notice.

Why it matters

Platforms and group administrators in Singapore can be ordered to act on reported harms, including inauthentic material, and can be sued if they ignore notices.
