The Minister may declare an online location with a Singapore link as a proscribed online location if a Part 3 direction (except a technical assistance direction or an app removal direction) is given in relation to any information or material included or otherwise on, or any service provided from, the online location.
A declaration under this section ceases to have effect on a date specified, or worked out by a formula specified, in the declaration, which must not in any case be more than 2 years in total after the making of the declaration.
Once a declaration is made and before the date it comes into effect, the competent authority must —
publish a notice of the making of the declaration in a manner as will secure adequate publicity for the fact of making of the declaration —
stating that a declaration has been made under this section; and (ii)setting out the URL, domain name, or any other unique identifier of the online location, to which the declaration relates; and
make reasonable efforts to give a copy of the declaration to the proprietor of the proscribed online location.
However, failure to publish a notice under subsection (3) in respect of any declaration does not invalidate the declaration.
