Singapore ordered TikTok and Meta to block a dual citizen’s accounts for spreading hate and influencing the 2025 election.
Singapore has ordered TikTok and Meta to block the accounts of Zulfikar bin Mohamad Shariff, a 54-year-old Australian citizen and former Singaporean, over online posts inciting racial and religious hatred.
Authorities say his content promotes extremist views, rejects Singapore’s secular system, and fuels division by falsely claiming Malay and Muslim communities face assimilation pressures.
The actions, taken under the 2024 Online Criminal Harms Act, follow his 2016 detention for terrorism-related activities and ongoing efforts to influence Singapore’s 2025 general election.
TikTok and Meta have complied, restricting or disabling his accounts within Singapore, though similar content remains on other platforms.
The government emphasized its commitment to protecting national unity in its diverse society.
