this is going to be yet another futile attempt by the establishment to tame the internet beast. they realised this when they tried to block porn websites, which did not work. So they just do a token block. Now this rubbish again. They even want to control foreign websites that report on singapore. The pap is truly staffed by idiots in ivory towers.

The pappies don't just block (several) porn sites, they also block religious sites.

Here's one of them:

I believe they may be able to implement the new ruling onto .sg domains. Let's see them try .com.

 

[Troll]

I seriously like to see them try that. I doubt it will work.

Even if it does... I like to see what happens in 2016.

New licensing framework not intended to clamp down on internet freedom, says MDA

[h=1]New licensing framework not intended to clamp down on internet freedom, says MDA[/h]
SINGAPORE: The Media Development Authority (MDA) said the new individual licensing framework for online news sites is not intended to clamp down on internet freedom.

A day after announcing the changes, MDA said the new framework provides greater clarity on prevailing content standards in the Internet Code of Practice.

It added that there is no change in content standards.

From next month, online news sites with a significant reach will be subjected to a bond of $50,000.

This has sparked some concerns that not all sites may afford to fork out the amount.

MDA said it is not its policy intent to place onerous obligations on the licensees and that the performance bond is pegged to that required of niche broadcasters.

It said any licensee who face difficulties in meeting the requirements can also approach MDA to discuss their concerns.

Ten sites, mostly from mainstream media, have been approached to get the individual licence.

MDA said The Online Citizen is not on the list as it does not currently fall within the online licensing framework.

Still, if MDA determines later that they ought to be individually licensed, they will be notified.

MDA said it uses a range of data sources including traffic monitoring and consumer surveys to determine the reach of a website.

And its assessment is that a site accessed from more than 50,000 monthly unique IP addresses in Singapore has sufficiently high reach to warrant an individual licence.

MDA reiterated that the new licensing framework will only apply to news sites that meet the content and reach criteria.

But the content guidelines apply to all content on the news sites, including readers' comments on the news sites.

MDA has to increase headcounts to monitor sites.

What a waste of taxpayer's money!

Singapore to regulate Yahoo, other online news sites

Conditions for the sites that require individual licenses, which have to be reviewed annually, include a performance bond of S$50,000 ($39,700) and a requirement that objectionable content be removed within 24 hours when directed by the MDA.

Who's lying? You decide.

Re: New licensing scheme for news websites that reach 50,000 people a month

are there any other countries in the world practicing such website licencing schemes or is this just Uniquely Singapore?

Sinkies responsible for this monster.
Sinkies must put an end to this monster

It is faster to use one of those free VPN servers to surf porn, or better get a strongVPN account. Just don't send porn to anyone and you'll be fine.

So far our boss Leongsam is keeping very quiet. This means he is relaxed so to all of you.
