Regulation alone not enough to address internet-related issues

SINGAPORE : The National Internet Advisory Committee has come up with its latest report, and it says regulation alone cannot address the social and ethical issues raised by the internet.
It calls for content and service providers to play a more active role.
One way to do this is to provide guidelines for parents.
The report also recommends regular reviews of the internet regulatory framework.
This, the committee said, is needed to keep pace with technological and market developments.
But where possible, a "light touch and pragmatic approach" should be adopted to avoid stifling the growth of new media services.
The Committee says its Cyber Wellness programme has reached out to over 140,000 Singaporeans since it started in 2006.
It hopes to target another 40,000 by the end of this month.
The Committee's aim is to promote public education on safe and responsible internet usage. - CNA/ms
