SINGAPORE: Singaporeans ranked non-consensual sexual content, promotion of dangerous behaviours like self-harm, and targeted harassment as among the most harmful online behaviours from a list of 16 harms, according to new research by the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS).
The study, released on Wednesday (Oct 22), also indicated that some harms such as cyber bullying and catfishing have been normalised by younger respondents under 35, highlighting the need for more public education, said the researchers. Catfishing refers to the practice of luring someone into a relationship with a fake persona.
