Coronavirus in the world: Singapore asks Facebook and Twitter for the denial: “There is no new variant dangerous for children”

by admin

Singapore asks Facebook and Twitter to send a denial notice to users of social media platforms in the country regarding the news circulating on social media of an alleged new variant of the virus originating in Singapore. The move comes after Delhi administration chief Arvind Kejriwal said in a Twitter post this week that a new form of the virus particularly harmful to children had arrived from Singapore. Both the Singaporean and Indian governments criticized the opposition politician, saying his comments were not based on facts and were “irresponsible”. The correction orders were issued under the Singapore Fake News Act or the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act. Facebook confirmed receipt of the order and said it was legally obligated to issue the correction notice. A Facebook news feed window now takes social users to the government website that says there is no new “ Singapore ” variant of COVID-19. Nor is there evidence of any COVID-19 variant that is “extremely dangerous to children,” the health administration said. The health minister said the B16172 strain found in many new COVID-19 cases in Singapore was first detected in India. Twitter has not yet responded.
