The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) has suspended the class licence of sociopolitical website The Online Citizen (TOC) for its failure to declare its funding sources.
It is hence prohibited from posting articles on its website, social media channels and accounts, which it must disable by 3pm on Thursday.
In a statement on Tuesday (Sept 14), IMDA, which regulates internet content providers, said that TOC had “repeatedly failed” to declare all its sources of funding in its 2020 yearly declaration despite many reminders and extensions.
Should TOC fail to comply with the suspension, IMDA may take steps to restrict access to TOC and may hold its officers liable for criminal offences under the Broadcasting Act.
