SINGAPORE - Sellers of ivory products online are now being "hunted down" after a domestic ban on such items kicked in this month (September).
The authorities are working with online platforms to ensure that all ivory listings are removed, while sites such as Carousell and Facebook have committed to prohibiting such content, advertisements and listings.
