Singapore has ordered YouTube, Facebook and X to block access to 14 xenophobic social media posts targeting the Indian community, saying the content threatens the country's multicultural values and racial harmony. Authorities said the posts, believed to have originated overseas, promoted inflammatory narratives claiming that Singapore was being "overrun by Indians". The action was taken under the Online Criminal Harms Act, with police directing the platforms to restrict access for users in Singapore. The government said it has zero tolerance for xenophobia and attempts to create divisions between communities, stressing that safeguarding racial harmony remains a national priority.
