POFMA helps protect the Singapore public against online harm by countering the proliferation of online falsehoods.
POFMA’s primary tools to correct falsehoods are correction directions which require recipients to insert a notice against the original post, with a link to the Government’s clarification.
The clarification sets out the falsehoods and facts for the public to examine, without the original post being removed.
Readers can read both the original post and the facts, and decide for themselves what is the truth.
