Feedback & supportLast amended by an amending law of 2022.
The Authority may designate an online communication service with a Singapore end-user link as a regulated online communication service with effect from a date specified in that order if the Authority, after taking into account —
the range of all online communication services provided to Singapore end-users; and
the extent and nature of the effect that the different types of online communication services have on the people of Singapore and her different communities,is satisfied that the online communication service should be a regulated online communication service in furtherance of the purposes in section 45A.
The Authority must cause notice of every designation under subsection (1) to the public by causing it to be published in any other manner that the Authority considers will secure adequate publicity for the designation.
A designation under subsection (1) may be revoked at any time by the Authority by instrument in writing; and the Authority must give notice, or cause the giving of notice, of the revocation in the same manner in which the designation was first given.
To avoid doubt, the non-publication of any notice of a designation under subsection (1), or its revocation, in the manner described in subsection (2) does not affect the validity of the designation or revocation, as the case may be.
