Singapore’s Online Safety (Relief and Accountability) Act 2025 and the pending Criminal Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill 2025 together establish a layered framework for handling deepfakes, NCII, and online harms. The OSRA creates an Online Safety Commission with broad takedown and account-restriction powers, while the Criminal Law Bill expands the definition of “intimate image” to cover AI-generated material.

• 13 categories of online harm, including online harassment, doxxing, intimate image abuse, and image-based child abuse
• AI-generated NCII including completely synthetic images that don’t alter existing recordings
• Singapore-based and overseas platforms accessible in Singapore

• Online Safety Commission can issue takedown directions, restrict perpetrator accounts, and assist victims in identifying anonymous perpetrators for civil enforcement
• First operational tranche covers harassment, doxxing, NCII, and image-based child abuse from H1 2026
• Criminal Law Bill expands Section 377BE to cover producing or possessing AI-generated NCII
• Existing Protection from Harassment Act (POHA) provides civil remedies for deepfake harassment
