Deepfakes & Disinformation
OCHA, election-integrity legislation and platform governance — how Singapore legislates and enforces against generative-AI content risks.
Singapore governs deepfakes and AI-generated disinformation on two tracks: build the legislative toolbox first, then population-wide information resilience. The Elections (Integrity of Online Advertising) Act 2024 bans deepfake content depicting candidates during an election; the Online Criminal Harms Act (OCHA), FICA, POFMA and the Maintenance of Racial Harmony Act form a set of levers the government can pull quickly against different threats.
This hub gathers every parliamentary debate on deepfakes and disinformation, the related policy documents, and ministers’ statements inside and outside the House — from election security to foreign interference, from platform takedown duties to public media literacy. You can trace how MPs press, how the government responds, and how the framework has evolved step by step.
