"All victims of online harms would want the damaging content to be removed quickly and permanently. Currently, victims can apply to court for a protection order, or make a police report. But legal and criminal proceedings can take time," explained Wong.
"Another way is to turn to online service providers for help. But not many would know how to do so. We have also heard feedback that even if they do, the companies may take some time to respond, and sometimes do not even act on the reports," he added.
Wong vowed Singapore would support victims of online harm with more timely and effective relief. He cited Australia's eSafety Commissioner as one example the city-state had been studying, as the down under cyber patrol "has the legal powers to order the removal of certain types of online harms."
