Internet Blackout in Malaysia: Netizens Protest Evidence Act Amendment S114A
http://j.mp/RNQETX (IBTimes)
According to Malaysia's Centre for Independent Journalism, Section
114A "enables law enforcement officials to swiftly hold someone
accountable for publishing seditious, defamatory, or libelous content
online." In addition, those accused of posting this kind of content
will be "assumed to be guilty until proven innocent," which completely
stands in the face of the typical logic of the judicial process, which
is "innocent until proven guilty."
