I vaguely recall reading a news article in 2015 which mentioned Ish
as one of the three co-founders of the MSCC. I don't know whether he
is also a shareholder of Agile Media Ltd. I have heard Ish talking
about civil liberties in Mauritius. It is his right to do so as long
as he follows the laws which may apply.
The "free" services are required to have a privacy policy for their
users in the United States. It is also applicable for their users in
Europe. It is not clear whether the privacy policy can be enforced
for users in Mauritius.
