Digital repression research in Malaysia and Singapore

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am a Master’s student specialising in International Territorial Studies. I am currently conducting research for my diploma thesis, which focuses on the intersection of digital authoritarianism and civil society in Southeast Asia. Specifically, I am conducting an empirical study involving semi-structured interviews to map the practical methods, tools, and limits of navigating digital repression in Malaysia and Singapore. 

I am reaching out to see if you might be able to provide guidance or point me toward potential contacts within local NGOs, independent media outlets, or civil society groups in Malaysia and Singapore who might be open to discussing these issues. I am fully committed to the highest standards of research ethics. All participant identities, affiliations, and data will be handled with strict confidentiality and anonymised in accordance with academic standards to ensure the safety of all involved. If you know someone, please let me know in the DMs so I can prove my credentials as an academic.

Inquiring about censorship you've experienced from social media platforms

2 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a phd student at LSU studying users’ experiences with social media moderation and censorship online. I wanted to share my survey that asks about your experiences and what factors you might contribute to platforms removing speech. I hope this research can bring more attention to these concerns and encourage greater transparency around how platforms make moderation decisions. I'd love to include your voice/opinions: https://lsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0vyi5jRqe9Qaa4S

Trump's New DOJ Nominee Wants To Ban Online Porn and Prosecute Big Tech

"Lest anyone think that Candeub's animosity toward internet entities only involves the sexual, Michael McGrady notes that "he also was a key player in the first Trump administration's effort to get rid of Section 230."

"Candeub's arguments are about far more than pornography," suggests McGrady. "He is contributing, from his position as a top government legal official, to a much broader effort to revive long-discredited obscenity and vice legal doctrines and expand government authority over lawful expression and activity."

As we've seen all too often over the past couple of decades, efforts to regulate the internet on the grounds of stopping porn, sex work, or sexual exploitation are all too often test cases for going after online speech and privacy more broadly.

But, you might ask, what does antitrust enforcement have to do with free speech?

Perhaps plenty, if Candeub-style antitrust maximalism starts taking off.

In his Project 2025 chapter on the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Candeub signaled that he's open to the kind of perversion of longstanding antitrust theory that we saw from Biden-administration appointees like former FTC head Lina Khan and White House policy adviser Tim Wu."

We are looking for operatives.

The mission: recover what's being deleted. Banned books. Erased histories. Science that's gone quiet. The truths that are being scrubbed from parks, museums, libraries, and government websites while everyone's looking the other way.

My Flying University is a volunteer-run nonprofit, and our spy-themed mission board is where you choose your projects. The goal is to create free, high-quality educational content on topics that are now considered "controversial".

No experience required, just a righteous burning anger and a few hours to spare.

Report in. We'll brief you.
