The Cabinet of Ministers has greenlit amendments to the Online Safety Act following proposals from industry professionals.

The Legal Draftsman will draft the amendments, as per the proposal tabled by the Public Security Minister.

The Act, aimed at regulating online content, faced opposition for potentially stifling free speech.

The government contends it seeks to curb certain statements online, prevent misuse of accounts, and counter false information dissemination.
