SINGAPORE CRACKS DOWN ON INTERNET
The Singapore government has informed Internet content and access providers
that it will hold them responsible for voluntarily restricting pornographic
and politically objectionable material in transmissions to the country's
100,000 Internet accounts. The Singapore Broadcasting Authority is charged
with enforcing the ban on materials that could "undermine public morals,
political stability or religious harmony." Most content providers will be
deemed "licensed" unless they violate the restrictions, but political and
religious groups must register their online intentions with the SBA.
Punishments for transgressions have not yet been determined. (Wall Street
Journal 6 Mar 96 B6)
