The new measures will require online sites to show corrections to false or misleading claims and take down falsehoods, according to a bill put forward in Parliament on Monday by the government. Account restriction directions can be issued to a platform to disable a fake account or bot that spreads a falsehood undermining the public interest, the government said in parliament. “There are a lot of falsehoods being propagated,” Singapore Law Minister K Shanmugam told reporters on Monday.
