Hello Ish,
It's been several hours since you have sent this mail, but unfortunately I
didn't see any replies (unless you received them privately and you didn't
share). If you received any reply, please share. If not, then I find this
very appalling that such a sensitive issue is not being taken seriously.
As a consumer of internet, I find this shocking that we are being "spied"
at and that ICT Authority installed some "National Internet Filtering
System" without us not knowing or without ICT Authority informing us.
I can also see that members of the media were CC'ed in your mail. Did
someone from the media contacted you about the same? Is the media
interested in writing about privacy, or censorship of the internet in
Mauritius?
Best regards,
Nadim Attari
