Online Safety Commission offers hope, but victims want process simplified

Renae Cheng, a Singaporean content creator, has been targeted by AI-generated videos on TikTok depicting her being harassed, leading to ongoing emotional distress and challenges in explaining the situation to family. Despite reporting the content to TikTok, the videos remained online, prompting Cheng to seek assistance from the recently established Online Safety Commission (OSC). The OSC, supported by the Online Safety (Relief and Accountability) Act, aims to address online harms such as harassment, doxxing, and image-based abuse by mandating content removals and holding platforms accountable. While victims like Cheng appreciate the existence of this new body, they have raised concerns about the complexity and redundancy of the reporting process, including the need to file multiple forms across various platforms and authorities.
