Malaysia presents itself as "Truly Asia," but the reality is a dystopia built on exploitation and unfair federalism. The new repressive amendments to the CMA 1998 are designed to silence those who expose how the wealth of the elites is stolen from the people.

Internet Standards Almanac | …pretty and interesting/ish, but I find it clumsy to explore & lacking in opinionation
…for instance, ITU-T and the description of this project:
The elements proposed in the “New IP” model may undermine the interoperability, security, and governance of existing IP-based networks.
… I’d like to see far more strongly phrased.
Nonetheless, the website is worth a look.
The Internet Standards Almanac is a guide for engaging in the standardisation of internet infrastructure. Which groups and committees are developing standards that have human rights implications? How do these standards impact human rights?

Another Council told me that the fees for carrying out the search for records is estimated at €380.
They have not explained why or how they estimate that (as required by law).
And they are requesting a "deposit" of €190 - a full half of the total - and will not proceed any further with the response until that's paid.
So, I will be appealing their decision as to fees, of course.

Have the Local Authority silly bugger games begun yet?
They have!
One has told me in their final Decision that they have found no records relating to this request.
So I told them about the emails to their staff member in March, and asked that they carry out a fresh search and retrieval process and come back to me.

Freedom of Information-knowers!
Is there an appeals process regarding fees? Or any other way to challenge them?
One Council is citing 19 hours of search and retrieval, amounting to €308 in fees.
Obviously, this is b.s., as a phone call to the relevant manager will clarify what and where relevant records can be found.
(Unless conceding to far-right agitators is a regular occurrence for that local authority.)

I finally got around to emailing the OCO and IHREC about this. I felt strongly that restricting access of young people to books needed to be raised with them.

"GCN conducted a library catalogue search for children’s and YA LGBTQ+ themed books in Ireland and found that several titles written for young adult audiences have been re-classified as ‘Adult’ content. This means that even with the proper permissions, young adults cannot access certain LGBTQ+ books tailored for their age group because they have been labelled as 18+."

Hi Jeremie.Unfortunately, we cannot post images because we use Tor.
The #article19 website is going through the #CloudFlare MITM attack on the internet. Anyone can check this by hitting Ctrl+Sift+E in TorBrowser, then looking at the server response.
A limited list of abuses by Cloudflare.

It makes it a crime to exercise fundamental right to protest enshrined in #Article19 of #Constitution. It also makes no mention of incidents of homes and schools being set on fire and attacks on innocent citizens. #DelhiRiots #CAA #Police @[email protected] https://www.nationalheraldindia.com/india/delhi-riots-chargesheet-filed-by-police-focuses-only-on-anti-caa-protests-not-the-wanton-violence-during-it
