The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) could take enforcement action against The Online Citizen (TOC) if the socio-political website cannot provide good reasons for repeatedly failing to declare all its funding sources in its yearly declaration.
The declaration of funding sources is to prevent sites from falling under foreign influence.
IMDA, which regulates internet content providers, said on Tuesday (Sept 7) that TOC had “repeatedly failed” to declare all its funding sources for its 2020 declaration, despite the many reminders and extensions it had been given.
“TOC has informed IMDA that it does not intend to comply with its obligations under the law,” IMDA said in response to media queries. “IMDA has therefore asked TOC to explain its non-compliance.”
It added: “If TOC is unable to provide good reasons for its non-compliance, IMDA may take appropriate enforcement action.”
