SINGAPORE - People in Singapore had fewer negative online experiences, such as unwanted sexual contact, last year amid the Covid-19 pandemic. This helped the country jump four places to No. 4 in an annual study of how digitally civil societies are.
It follows a general trend for 32 territories globally, according to the study by American tech giant Microsoft released last Wednesday (Feb 10).
The Netherlands was tops in online civility, followed by Britain and the United States.

Study: Use of online messaging and social media apps spiked during COVID-19 pandemic


Study: Use of online messaging and social media apps spiked during COVID-19 pandemic
The use of online messaging and social media apps among Singapore residents has spiked during the COVID-19 pandemic, a Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) study has found.
Three in four respondents (75%) said that their use of WhatsApp during the pandemic increased. This was followed by Telegram (60.3%), Facebook (60.2%) and Instagram (59.7%).
Accompanying this spike is videoconferencing fatigue, found the NTU Singapore study, which surveyed 1,606 Singapore residents from 17 to 31 December last year. Nearly one in two Singapore residents (44%) said they felt drained from videoconferencing activities, which became more frequent during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Around 1 in 4 Singapore residents surveyed believe false claim about Covid-19 vaccine


SINGAPORE - Close to one in four residents polled in Singapore believe a false claim that Covid-19 vaccines alter DNA, according to a survey by the Nanyang Technological University (NTU).
Older respondents were also more likely to believe this falsehood circulated on social media, despite it being debunked on fact-checking websites including The Straits Times, according to results from an ongoing survey commissioned by the university's Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information.
The responses were collected as part of a larger survey that tracks a group of Singapore residents over the years to understand their information behaviour, the school's Associate Professor Edson Tandoc Jr, the survey's lead researcher, said on Thursday (Dec 24).
