The Singapore police have directed Meta to widen its efforts to curb impersonation scams on Facebook, extending safeguards to cover more government office holders and individuals deemed to be at high risk of impersonation.
Since the first directive was implemented, the police have observed a decline in Facebook scams involving impersonation of those officials covered under the initial order.
Under the latest order, Meta is required to implement enhanced facial recognition measures in Singapore and to prioritise the review of scam-related reports submitted by users here.
Meta must comply with measures relating to government office holders by January 31, while measures covering high-risk individuals must be in place by February 28.
The directive also requires Meta to roll out facial recognition measures for notable Facebook users in Singapore in phases, with full implementation to be completed by June 30.
