[Bahasa Malaysia] [??]
LimKitSiang.com is being blacked out for 24 hours in support of #stop114A campaign by Centre for Independent Journalism (CIJ) Malaysia.
We have blacked out this site for:
What is 114A?
It is an amendment to Malaysia?s Evidence Act 1950 which enables law enforcement officials to hold you accountable for publishing seditious, defamatory, or libelous content online, as long as the allegedly defamatory content is traced back to your username, electronic device, and/or WiFi network. Section 114A presumes you are guilty of publishing illicit content on the Internet unless you can prove otherwise. In short, you are considered guilty until proven innocent.
Why should you support this campaign?
Section 114A threatens the right to freedom of expression and cows Internet users into imposing self-censorship in order to avoid false accusations made under Section 114A. Bloggers, for example, may excessively censor comments made by their readers. As a result, Section 114A inadvertently stifles public discussion about pertinent political or social issues and protects public authorities, such as the State, from public scrutiny.
What do we want?
The Government must scrap Section 114A.
