If you share or upload content ,that might cause trouble - but only if enough people notice it (think viral content).
Prohibition usually has the opposite intended effect around the world, no matter if it's porn, drugs or booze. Places like Korea and China where porn is also 'quasi-illegal' and are generally blocked by government firewalls have among the highest amount of porn consumers per capita. But governments don't learn of course, with countries like the UK now starting to ramp up their anti-porn rhetoric.

My understanding is that it is illegal to store porn electronically Singapore, but not viewing it. So unless you’re moving out to Singapore permanently make sure you have a ‘stash’ or source on the internet and you should be ok.
Or carry on as normal, I really don’t think the authorities are that interested unless you make it obvious what you are doing!

Good point WillEater ... Obviously clearing your temp folder regularly will get round that ... what about an IPAD does that work in the same way?
As someone living in Singapore for the past seven years, I have had no issues downloading porn here. My private seedbox sits in Canada, but downloading torrents and access to websites like Pornhub have never been an issue for me. Playboy, on the other hand, is blocked.
I guess if it was for private consumption, I guess it is fine. Its Singapore not Saudi Arabia. Lol. Just don’t post scandal videos that will cause viral in the media.
Strange world indeed. Canada blocks playboy magazine in he Yukon Territory.
But alcohol is plenty..
I imagine I would run into some trouble if I started showing content from my private library outside. Ha-ha!
Just arrested 4 men, based upon trading pictures in a chat room.
What a clustereff there. It's 2019 for most of the world.
context is, there are photos of underage girls and they were distributed via a fee (to join the group).
the authorities doesn't care if you download porn, as long as you don't distribute or sell them..
..until someone or some group decides to bring this up to them.
