…The Singapore government on Friday invoked one of the most controversial parts of its new ‘fake news’ law to order Facebook to correct a post by an Australia-based dissident, after the blogger refused its demands to comply with what he described as an “unjust law”.
The office in charge of administering the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation (POFMA) Act said the home and law minister K. Shanmugam had instructed it to issue a “targeted correction direction” to Facebook.
The order requires Facebook to publish a correction notice on a November 23 post by the ‘States Times Review’ page run by the blogger Alex Tan Zhi Xiang.
If the social media giant fails to comply, it is liable for a fine not exceeding S$1 million (US$731,905), and a further S$100,000 for each additional day of non-compliance after conviction.

The Law where got controversial to order Facebook to correct a post by an Australia-based dissident when it is published fake news. FB should be more responsible for the use of its platform and money should not be so easy to earn for them.
More countries should follow Singapore example and put pressure on these social media giants.
Everybody is watching what FB is going to do about it. Just watch.
