ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research was developed as part of the CYRILLA1 project that seeks to provide comprehensive resources on global digital rights laws. This research has been carried out by Indriaswati D. Saptaningrum and Parasurama Pamungkas. Several experts from Southeast Asia provided us with their valuable time and inputs in helping identify and analyse the cases. We thank them for their work and support. This included organisations such as iLaw (Thailand), Foundation for Media Alternatives (Philippines), Malaysian Centre for Constitutionalism and Human Rights (Malaysia), Lembaga Bantuan Hukum Jakarta (Indonesia) and Access Now, whose insights and resources were greatly helpful for understanding developments and the ecosystems in their countries and the region more broadly. Our work relies extensively on information relating to case laws on digital rights already available on the CYRILLA database on Global Digital Rights Law, as well as Columbia University’s Global Freedom of Expression database. We are also thankful to Emerson John Lozanta who developed the art design and cover for the report. 1 See https://cyrilla.org/en/ 3
