"The Convergence of Two Sins:
These two events, (1) the myth of #statelessness and (2) the #immunity from legal liability, fed each other. The fantasy of a separate cyberspace provided the ideological cover for the exceptional legal treatment worldwide. Why burden these pioneers with old-world laws if they were building a new world?"

A Bajau family in Labuan lost their citizenship over old registration issues, leaving them stateless despite growing up here. Yet seven foreign-born “heritage” players accused of forged documents were fast-tracked into citizenship.

The family has lost access to aid, work, and even schooling for a child marked “belum ditentukan.”

This is statelessness in Malaysia: people who belong here treated like outsiders.

At this point I know almost a dozen people that were "assigned #US #citzen at birth" without their explicit consent who'd literally do anything to get #denaturalized and live as a free being.

Which begs the question if #crowdfunding for that violates the #ToS of #GoFundMe and/or other platforms.
