The distribution of obscene media
Question by Dr Shahira Abdullah, Nominated MP:
It will not be possible to block all objectionable or obscene content on the internet. Hence, the Government have to look beyond banning and "take a holistic approach" to deal with such content, she said.
This is even though it is illegal to transmit any obscene material by electronic means, advertise the sale of these materials, or participate in or receive profits from any business where obscene materials are transmitted electronically receive, under Singapore's penal code.
OnlyFans is a content subscription service, which allows content creators to post content and receive payment from directly from their followers.
A 22-year-old content creator from the site, Titus Low, was arrested and charged last month for transmitting obscene materials, but not all content posted on the platform is objectionable.
Its terms of service require users to be at least 18 years old and prohibit creators from posting egregious content such as revenge porn.
Members of the public may report suspected violations of the terms of service directly to the platform.
"We must ensure that such content creation platforms do not expose Singaporeans to the risk of exploitation and abuse, especially our youth," Mrs Teo said.
