Whats with these people?

Update:
The topic must have been to hot to miss, and like many others Marina Mahathir used her weekly cvolumn and rightly pointed out her concerns. Which brings me to another point, how many people out there are generous enough to loan out computers and networks to total strangers?
Did anyone hear a pip from the BAR about this?

People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones...I am certain this phrase is familiar to those who fear it.

Did you miss the recent amendment to the Evidence Act (no2) 2012?
According to some, it is a  'Black Day' for internet users because the amendment is presumably an act to curtail freedom of expression.

CIJ Malaysia was quick to point out that this is an act by the government to stop dissenting voices.
In fact a quick look at the CIJ website will tell anyone who is truly neutral that CIJ, like many other NGO has a deep seated hate for the government.

If CIJ was truly interested in Press Freedom, why did it not make a public statement condemning the Penang State Government on the recent barring of NST and Utusan journalists to a press conference? perhaps from today on, the state government should use 'Selected Press Conference' instead.

In one glance, it appeared to me like the act was skewed somewhat, but here lies the cake. It is an amendment and the amendment places emphasis on the definition of evidence, and appears to be more consistent with how one ends up with some damning evidence (should it appear on your site, etc)

I suppose if the amendment appears guilty somewhat, then it really points out to users of the internet that they are in possession of a powerful tool, that can be used to stalk, project an image that can be damaging to the subject, and other accusations that prior to this will require the subject rather than the publisher to proof themselves.

I was a subject to this kind of redicule, but was able to get through it, and unlike those who are quick to condemn, I viewed it as an act that could have been used to stop others from defaming me.
I am certain too that the likes of Anwar Ibrahim will be quick to use the act, now that it clearly defines evidence, to pass the onus on to his detractors, especially in the recent appearance of 'the video', should he choose to.

Agreed?
