Passive Aggressive Media

The New Straits Times had a strange non-committal but aggress­ive report from our reli­gious and racist over­lords about the appar­ently recent spate of “Islam belittling” to be found online. Those who are using Face­book and other social web­sites to belittle Islam may soon find the author­it­ies knock­ing on their doors. The gov­ern­ment, with help from vari­ous …

Lone Voice in a Circle Jerk

The eG8 sum­mit was a strange thing. It was appar­ently a forum for stake­hold­ers in busi­nesses centred upon the Inter­net and civil soci­ety to dis­cuss the future dir­ec­tion of the Inter­net, and to present these views to the lead­ers of the G8. Well, at least that’s what Nic­olas Sarkozy said. So things get a little inter­est­ing …

Bullying a Student

It’s not game over yet for civil rights in Malay­sia. But it will be if the major­ity of cit­izens let this issue pass them by. Bul­ly­ing a 17-year-old stu­dent because he asks uncom­fort­able truth-seeking ques­tions. Nicol Paul Mir­anda, an ordin­ary Form Five stu­dent, who has since left SMK Vivekananda after his SPM, said the school is …

Leaving Facebook, Partially.

Par­tially. Mean­ing I won’t be updat­ing my Face­book feed any more. Although I do not usu­ally post per­sonal stuff online (I have yet to actu­ally upload any of my own pic­tures of any phys­ical part of myself online), the cumu­lat­ive beha­viour of Face­book has con­vinced me it is time to move on. Face­book by ~digit­al­post­prod on devi­antART …
