Internet Blackout Day in Malaysia
August 14, 2025-August 14, 2025 -
Malaysia, Malaysia
Internet Blackout Day in Malaysia was a day of protest against a law that many saw as a threat to online freedom. Websites across the country went dark, displaying messages that highlighted the risks posed by the new amendment to the Evidence Act.
This law made anyone associated with a website or blog responsible for its content, even if they didn’t post it themselves.
The protest gained significant traction, with support from prominent political leaders and activists. This momentum pushed the government to reconsider the controversial amendment.
The unity displayed during this event demonstrated the potential impact of collective action in the digital age.
