The chairman of the Media Literacy Council (MLC) says its members have not had any discussion on the merits or otherwise of a code of conduct (COC) for the Internet.
However, he says that such a code "is within the realm of possibilities" when asked if the MLC might eventually recommend such a code to the government.
Tan confirmed to this writer in an email interview that the Media Development Authority (MDA), which staffs the MLC's secretariat, has "listed the code as one of the issues relating to cyber wellness that [the] MLC may wish to look at."
"If the council decides to consider the issue of the code, I expect that [the] Government will wait for the council's recommendation before making any decision," Tan says.
