The "privacy" you think you have in Malaysia is an illusion.

Authorities have a legal backdoor into your entire digital existence. Under Section 249 of the Communications & Multimedia Act (CMA), police can demand your passwords, PINs, or biometrics during an investigation.

Here is the creepy part: Refusing to unlock your phone IS the crime itself.

They don't need to crack sophisticated encryption; they just crack you with the threat of immediate arrest for "obstruction." You become a criminal just for trying to protect your data dignity.

And it's getting worse. The incoming #Pindaan2025 amendments propose escalating penalties for non-compliance up to a staggering RM1 MILLION fine or 5 YEARS in prison.

This isn't about fighting crime; it's an infrastructure designed to force compliance through state-sanctioned fear. Your digital mind is yours only until they ask for it. Wake up.

We all agree, hate-speech is bad, Harassment is bad, but EFF makes the case that this should NOT be the job of infrastructure companies. Facebook, Twitter, etc, should police their platforms, however core infrastructure entities such as Cloudflare, GoDaddy, and the like, probably should not.
