MPs AGAINST
CYBERTROOPERS
Dear MPs,
Noticed your follower count dropping? That’s us.
Malaysians are unfollowing all MPs until they support the Anti-Cybertrooper Law.
Politicians are spending millions on covert cybertrooper networks and fake engagement to divide us. We know, because we went undercover to expose it in Bad Influence.
The Anti-Cybertrooper Law demands transparency over paid political content, outlaws cybertrooping, and holds everyone responsible to account — from the cybertroopers to the people funding them.
Want your followers back? Review our five demands and pledge your support.
Show your constituents where you stand.
OUR DEMANDS FOR THE
ANTI-CYBERTROOPER LAW
01
IN-CONTENT DISCLOSURE
Paid political content must be clearly marked on the content itself.
02
PUBLIC REGISTRY
Political communications campaigns should be declared to a public registry by the funders and agencies.
03
OUTLAWING CYBERTROOPING
It will be an offense to fund or operate seeder networks or bots designed to present paid political messaging as organic public opinion.
04
UPWARD LIABILITY
Everyone from individual cybertroopers, PR agencies, and the political funders will be liable for penalties if they fail to comply — with the heaviest fines for the funders.
05
FREE SPEECH PROTECTIONS
The law will explicitly exempt organic, unprompted, and unpaid civic speech and journalism.
