Singapore Assails Facebook for Refusal to Remove Post

[chittychitty]

Singapore lashed out at Facebook Inc., calling the social media giant unreliable after it declined a request to remove a post that linked Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and the city state with 1MDB allegations.

Facebook’s decision to not remove malicious information on Singapore shows the need for legislation, the Ministry of Law said in a statement. The government is protesting a post by the States Times Review, an alternative news website, which connected the country and its leader to probes on the embattled Malaysian state fund.

“Facebook has declined to take down a post that is clearly false, defamatory and attacks Singapore, using falsehoods," the Ministry of Law said. Facebook "cannot be relied upon to filter falsehoods or protect Singapore from a false information campaign.”

A Facebook spokeswoman in Singapore declined to comment on the government’s statement.
