Malaysiakini : Tech Research company Comparitech has ranked Malaysia as one of the worst countries in the world for internet freedoms, due to restrictions on social media, political reporting, pornography and torrenting sites.

In an article called Internet Censorship 2020: A Global Map of Internet Restrictions authored by Paul Bischoff, the UK-based technology website said it found that Malaysia scored 6 out of 10 on the censorship scale (10 being the most censored), owing to restrictions on social media and political reporting, among other factors.
This follows another report three months ago in which Comparitech ranked Malaysia fifth worst in a study of privacy and surveillance in 47 countries and territories around the world.
