Facebook instructed by POFMA Office to publish correction notice

[Playtime]

If anyone say halimah is not our president.. is it covered by pofma... 

[Vratenza]

If someone with Facebook post this statement on FB:

"The president is Indian" 

And if POFMA is not used by G to ask it to be taken down... Does it mean that it is the truth? Confirmed? 😏

What if Govt order you to publish the correction notice in a specified way in a particular newspaper or print publication with a presence in Singapore—and make you pay for it.

Like that you will help to boost SPH revenue hor

Facebook complied but putting a link at the bottom. I think that is a pretty fair outcome.

singapore wanted them to put the correction notice on the top of the post.

i think the government realised how stupid their law is as in reality u can never takedown fake news. 

It’s much better to do clarifications... if the public don’t trust u, it points to a more serious problem. This way, there is a incentive for the government to build trusts with the people.

I bet the state times review Facebook page hits shot through the roof. So many other articles there... are they going to correct every post. If they never correct, does it mean the other posts are true news??

i think this stupid fake news law really need to be used rarely and cleverly. Not like this.

This illustrates how US freedom of speech and their various organisations work when dealing with foes and friends. So, it is never about their principles or beliefs. It is about economic values to US. Therefore, those still sleeping better wake up.

I LOLed when I saw the screenshot of FB's statement reported in the news.

I am guessing that it is precisely because of the loss of trust that POFMA was enacted... And yes, I agree with you that it would create more confusion if many other articles are not ordered to be taken down or corrected on other social media.

@Davidtch initially I thought you were joking but when I just check, the footnotes are really gone. 

And I am so naive to think that China is the only place I would need to use VPN...

They need to come up with a better way to deal with fake news.. just look at the recent HK riots.. social media have been reporting police brutality for example, but skipped many key info why it led to that event.

In my opinion we should not allow ourselves to get into that situation that fake news is left unchecked.

I read HK news from newspaper. I read both sides of the news.

Police brutality is NOT fake news.

It was brought to the attention of court judges when these rioters was charged in court.

The best way to deal with fake news is to prove it with hard evidences else it is basically WOT between the various parties. I remember I cited the NKF case in the POFMA thread, that if the stronger party is withholding information and claim victim, is it still a fake news per se?

Actually this have real implications on our economy. I think it is really stupid to go after this states times review by going after Facebook. He reposted on Google twitter. Is pap going to go after all of them??
If the government go harder on Facebook, I am more convinced that they are trading off Singapore economy wellbeing just for ... I am not sure what did pap gain out of this episode. 
just a stupid move on pap part.
