Reddit user Lee-tmy has claimed that YouTube alerted him that “Mediacorp is funded in whole or in part by the Singapore Government” as he watched a video posted by Channel NewsAsia on the Google-owned video platform.
Sharing the following screenshot online, the netizen speculated that “its probably just a precautionary measure to warn people that the channel (which is affiliated w/ Mediacorp) could be influenced by the SG govt”:
The alert, which appears above the title of the video, links YouTube users back to Wikipedia. Wikipedia notes that Mediacorp is the largest media business in Singapore, with its 7 television channels and 11 radio stations.
Highlighting that Mediacorp “holds a monopoly on free-to-air television in Singapore,” Wikipedia notes that the media conglomerate is owned by Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, Temasek.
