Social media regulation? Philippines should be like Singapore, says solon
A lawmaker has proposed that the Philippine government should regulate social media platforms to combat the spread of fake news.
Rep. Zia Alonto Adiong of Lanao del Sur suggested that government intervention is necessary when platform policies are insufficient, citing Singapore's Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act as a model.
Adiong believes that Meta's current policies are inadequate and called for legislation that not only targets fake content but also controls its online spread.
He emphasized the need for social media platforms to be part of the solution and that the government, through Congress, must lead in regulating fake news.
