IS the Online Safety Act enough to protect children – or does real safety depend on all of us?

In this episode of Scoop Insight, Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching explores why online safety must go beyond regulation. As risks like cyberbullying, grooming, and harmful content continue to rise, the conversation shifts to shared responsibility — from parents managing digital exposure, to schools strengthening digital literacy, platforms building safer environments, and government driving awareness and coordination.

At its core, this episode asks a critical question: If children are growing up online, who is truly responsible for keeping them safe? – May 4, 2026
