The Competent Authority under the Online Criminal Harms Act within the Singapore Police Force issued a second Implementation Directive to Meta. Under the new directive, Meta must implement enhanced facial recognition measures in Singapore and prioritise the review of user reports from Singapore. Meta must comply with these requirements by 31 January 2026 for additional government office holders, and by 28 February 2026 for high-risk individuals. The directive also requires Meta to introduce facial recognition measures for notable Facebook users in Singapore, with a phased rollout and full implementation by 30 June 2026.
