Abstract

ABSTRACT As public discourse moves online, Singapore’s Government has increasingly begun to regulate online speech via the use of Targeted Speech Directions, which are issued against statements or communications deemed to amount to fake news or foreign interference. This article maps the law on Targeted Speech Directions in Singapore, touching on three issues – the consistency of these Directions with constitutional theories of free speech, the extent of judicial oversight available and the applicable evidential rules in challenges brought to these Directions – which bear materially on how these Directions are used and their influence on the future Singaporean public discourse.

新加坡有针对性的演讲指导

随着公共话语转移到网络上，新加坡政府越来越多地开始通过使用“目标言论指示”来规范网络言论，该指示针对被认为相当于假新闻或外国干涉的言论或通信发布。本文描绘了新加坡关于针对性言论指示的法律，涉及三个问题——这些指示与言论自由的宪法理论的一致性、可用的司法监督程度以及对这些指示提出的挑战中适用的证据规则——这些问题对这些指示的使用方式及其对未来新加坡公共话语的影响有重大影响。
