Singapore has directed social media platforms, including Facebook and X, to block nearly 100 online accounts linked to exiled Chinese tycoon Guo Wengui. The government ordered five social media platforms to restrict users in the city-state from accessing 95 accounts primarily associated with Guo Wengui. This move is part of Singapore's broader efforts to manage online content and address concerns related to individuals who are considered fugitives or exiles. The accounts were described as a 'Hydra snake' by local authorities.
