Clause 30
Stop communication (class of material) direction — content
(1)
A stop communication (class of material) direction is a direction requiring the recipient to do one or more of the following, and by the time specified in the direction, such that the relevant class of material cannot be accessed by persons in Singapore:
to remove the relevant class of material;
to stop storing, posting, providing or transmitting the relevant class of material.
(2)
The relevant class of material mentioned in subsection (1) must be identified in the direction by one or more specific identifiers which relate to the online harmful activity concerned.ExamplesExamples of specific identifiers are —
a username which a piece of online material is tagged with; (b) a specific term which a piece of online material contains; and (c) the online location which a piece of online material is communicated at.
(3)
In addition to applying to online material that is made accessible to persons in Singapore before or on the date the direction is given, a stop communication (class of material) direction may also apply to online material that is first made accessible to persons in Singapore after the date the direction is given.
(4)
To avoid doubt, a stop communication (class of material) direction is not invalid merely because, apart from applying to online material communicated through an online harmful activity, the direction also applies to online material not communicated through an online harmful activity.
