DOTr denies ordering shutdown of online selling platforms
“This is fake news,” the DOTr said in a statement, stressing that the issue was taken out of context.
According to the agency, the matter being addressed in its recent press conference concerned unauthorized online resellers and hoarders of Beep cards, which had been spotted on the said platforms. The DOTr said that only these illegal sellers were the subject of possible takedown, not the platforms themselves.
The department also warned that individuals spreading false information online could face legal action.
It urged commuters and netizens to be vigilant against misinformation on social media and to report accounts that deliberately spread false claims.
