SINGAPORE: Five social media platforms have been directed by the authorities to block a network of 95 accounts that published coordinated posts spreading allegations that Singapore is being controlled by China.
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Friday (July 19) said there are grounds to believe that the network of accounts can and may be used to mount hostile information campaigns which are directly targeted at Singapore.
