Laws to tackle online harms will kick in in 2023 after Parliament passed an Online Safety (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill on Wednesday, with unanimous support from MPs.

The Bill seeks to amend the Broadcasting Act to make social media platforms liable if they fail to protect local users from online harms, placing the Republic among front runners regulating a space that has so far been self-supervised.

In The Straits Times’ The Big Story, Multimedia Correspondent Cheow Sue-Ann speaks with Communications and Information Minister Josephine Teo for more on these developments.
