Facebook extended its policies on ads regarding social issues, elections or politics to Singapore, with that country’s next general parliamentary election coming up next year.
The social network revealed in June that its transparency tools regarding political ads were being expanded globally, and using those tools is now a requirement in Singapore.
Mirroring the requirements of other countries where the tools are already in place, anyone in Singapore wishing to run ads about social issues (civil and social rights, immigration, crime, or political values and governance), elections or politics must first confirm their identity and location and disclose who is responsible for the ad.
A person, page or organization can appear in the “Paid for by” disclaimer that accompanies those ads.
