Victims of online harms in Singapore to get faster recourse through one-stop government agency

 

“Victims of online harm will be able to submit an application to the agency to seek redress, said the Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI) on Oct 1.

 

“The new agency will act on behalf of victims to direct perpetrators and online service providers such as social media services to put a stop to the online harm quickly,” the ministry said.

 

“We will focus on the most serious and prevalent online harms affecting victims in Singapore, such as cyberbullying and the non-consensual sharing of intimate images.”
