Singapore's social media safeguards for children prove more effective than a ban

Singapore's social media safeguards for children are more rigorous than a ban, according to Minister of State Rahayu Mahzam. The ministry targets specific harmful features and design elements on platforms, rather than implementing a blanket ban, aiming for a more effective and lasting approach. Singapore has introduced age-related restrictions and reporting obligations, and is considering further measures, including studying the impact of addictive design features.
