Thinking about this classic recently, which is available free here: monoskop.org/images/d/df/...

there is no way this ends well

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things: #1) Respect the privacy of others. #2) Think before you type. #3) With great power comes great responsibility.

Rather than ensuring cybersecurity, #Myanmar’s newly adopted #CyberSecurity “Law” grants the military sweeping powers to control online spaces. The law deviates from international human rights standards and threatens privacy, digital security, and more.
