> Singapore is tightening online protections for young people. Information Minister Josephine Teo said that if social media platforms are unwilling or unable to adopt stronger safeguards, access could eventually be restricted not only for children under 13 but for everyone under 18. Possible measures include limiting contact with strangers, disabling autoplay and endless scrolling, and setting daily use caps.
