Online Safety Commission handles over 500 reports, mainly doxxing and harassment

Since its inception on June 29, Singapore's Online Safety Commission has processed upwards of 500 reports of harmful online activity up to August 31. Doxxing was the leading category, representing 44% of eligible complaints, followed by online harassment at 38%. Smaller shares involved intimate image abuse (8%), stalking (7%) and image-based child abuse (3%).

The commission reports that it resolved over 90% of eligible cases by directing platforms to delete content, restricting offender accounts, or issuing access-blocking orders when platforms failed to comply. Victims under 18 made up about 17% of eligible reports, with the youngest being a seven-year-old doxxing victim. The agency can act under the Online Safety (Relief and Accountability) Act 2025, which allows swift legal recourse when platforms do not remove harmful material within 24 hours.
