Facebook concerned after Singapore orders page ban Facebook is concerned after being ordered by Singapore to block access to a news site's page.
The social networking platform said it was "legally compelled" to comply after Singapore said the fringe site States Time Review broke the new "fake news" law and conveyed "falsehoods".
The legislation was introduced in October last year, with the government insisting it needs strict laws to combat fake news and its potential to incite racial and religious disharmony.
Authorities claimed the States Time Review (STR) posted in January and "falsely claimed that Singapore had run out of face masks" in relation to the coronavirus situation.
