Abstract
In a commentary, SMU Associate Professor of Law Eugene Tan shared his views on the proposed Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Bill (POFMB). He surmised that POFMB is “a necessary but insufficient tool” against the scourge of “fake news” and that it must be applied sensitively in order not to undermine but enhance Singaporeans’ resilience and bottom-up drive to fight deliberate harmful falsehoods.
