Am I a victim of online harm?

Online harms come in many forms, including harassment, stalking and non-consensual sharing of intimate images.

If something hurtful has happened to you online, you may not be sure whether it counts as an online harm. It is natural to feel distressed or humiliated, yet still question whether what you experienced is serious enough to act on. The fact that different online platforms have different rules and reporting thresholds can make this more confusing.

The Online Safety (Relief and Accountability) Act (OSRAA) was introduced to provide clarity on what amounts to online harm. OSRAA sets out the types of online harms recognised under Singapore law, the duties that online actors owe, and the help that may be available to you.

OSRAA defines 13 types of online harmful activity affecting people in Singapore. From 29 June 2026, OSRAA will cover online harassment, doxxing, online stalking, intimate image abuse, and image-based child abuse. Click below to find out more information about these online harms.
