POFMA'ed Dashboard

Every recorded use of Singapore's Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (POFMA) in the POFMA'ed Dataset, with links to the archived press releases and Factually articles.

A report is one press release; a POFMA use is one direction, order or other action; a communication is one distinct post, article, page or video. One report can cover several uses, and one communication can be subject to several uses (see the codebook).

This dataset is created and maintained by Teo Kai Xiang. See here for my journal article on civil society responses to POFMA.
