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."
