SINGAPORE: Singapore has ordered Meta to disable access to social media posts showing a video of a man stepping on the Quran, believed to have taken place on a public bus in the country.
While the original video is no longer available, it was reposted and shared on other social media platforms, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said in a press release on Sunday (Mar 8).
Meta Platforms owns both Facebook and Instagram.
MHA and the Singapore Police Force assessed that the content of the video constitutes an offence of insulting the religion of another person in Singapore under Section 17F(4) of the Maintenance of Religious Harmony Act 1990.
