Internet Blackout in Malaysia: Netizens Protest Evidence Act Amendment S114A - International Business Times.
"S114A, entitled 'Presumption of Fact in Publication,' holds (1) those who own, administrate, or edit websites open to public contributors, such as online forums or blogs; (2) those who provide web-hosting services or Internet access; and (3) those own the computer or mobile device used to publish content online, accountable for content published through their services, on their sites, or 'in their name.'"

In addition, those accused of posting this kind of content will be "assumed to be guilty until proven innocent,"
