Hello reader,

UU ITE has been a thorn in many our backsides, with the law often likened to a tool for oppression. Proponents of freedom of speech can now celebrate a little after the Constitutional Court ruled that the government cannot be classified as victims of online defamation.

In other news, West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi wants low income citizens of the province to get vasectomies for their own financial sakes. Failure to get the snip may result in their ineligibility for social aid programs. Not sure what to say about that one.

All that, and more below.

Cheers,

Andra
