‘Not easy’ to enforce proposed anti-harassment law

On the new proposed anti-harassment law, SMU Associate Professor of Law Eugene Tan felt that tracking down those responsible when a post had gone viral could be an exercise in frustration. Still, he viewed the proposed law was a significant step forward. “Hopefully, the law will catalyse the development and growth of appropriate online conduct. We need a civil online society – otherwise, the full potential of social media will not be realised,” he said.​
