Singapore Blocks Fake News Websites Posing as Local Media

Singapore has instructed Internet service providers to block access to six foreign-linked websites that were masquerading as local news outlets. Bloomberg posted on X that these sites were identified as spreading false information and misleading content under the guise of legitimate Singaporean news sources. The move is part of Singapore's ongoing efforts to combat misinformation and protect its citizens from deceptive online content. Authorities have emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of local media and ensuring that residents receive accurate and reliable news. This action reflects a broader initiative to safeguard the digital landscape against foreign interference and fake news.
