In the 21st century, the monger has evolved again into the information-monger, fear-monger, and hate-monger, amplified by digital media. Across Asia, from India’s WhatsApp lynchings to Myanmar’s Facebook-fueled anti-Rohingya campaigns, social platforms have enabled new classes of mongers who peddle misinformation for political or economic gain. A "full new" approach must address how governments and civil societies are responding. China’s Great Firewall, Singapore’s Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (POFMA), and the European Union’s Digital Services Act (though not Asian, its influence is felt) represent attempts to regulate mongering. However, the challenge remains: balancing free speech with the prevention of harm.
