OFFICIAL BAZ NOTICE REGARDING THREATS, DOXXING, DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION AND TEAM SAFETY
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
This notice is issued as an official public notification concerning safety issues, threats, doxxing and the disclosure of personal information involving parties associated with BAZ.
This notice is issued after I received several reports from those who assist in the development and technical management of the BAZ platform, specifically concerning safety issues, disclosure of personal information and threats against several individuals associated with this platform.
I write as the BAZ writer who has been granted access by Team BAZ to produce work anonymously through the official Facebook page and the BAZ website. My position as a writer is separate from the Development Team, the Administrator and the technical parties who manage the infrastructure of this platform.
For public information, BAZ was originally rebuilt by a group of followers from the old Berita Akhir Zaman Facebook page, who established the new Berita Akhir Zaman Rasmi Facebook page and, at the same time, developed their own website https://www.beritaakhirzaman.com using a Custom Content Management System (CMS). They are the ones who provide the technical infrastructure that enables BAZ writings to continue being published.
I was given access to write, publish and deliver writings anonymously. The true identity of the BAZ writer is not known to the public. In fact, the Administrator and the Team Developer themselves are not in a position to represent the content, research positions or conclusions of my writings, except by assisting from the technical and operational side of the platform.
This position is important to understand. The Development Team members are not content writers. They are not the parties who publish exposés, construct arguments, analyse issues or determine the conclusions of any BAZ writing. They are also not the parties responsible for the analysis, research or positions published by BAZ.
They are merely volunteers, technical developers and platform supporters, just like some other readers who want BAZ writings to remain alive and accessible to the public.
BACKGROUND OF THE SAFETY RISK
As readers are aware, BAZ publishes many exclusive and original writings. We do not copy other people’s articles and republish them as BAZ works. Every analysis published is the result of arrangement, examination and reprocessing intended to make it easier for the public to understand issues that are heavy, complex and often hidden or not yet discussed.
Among the topics that have been and are being analysed by BAZ are specific disclosures relating to Dajjal, Ahmadi Religion of Peace and Light (AROPL), Perjalanan Mimpi Yang Terakhir (PMYT), religious deviations, false Mahdi narratives, false wills, Shia, fabricated doctrines and various sensitive end-times issues.
Some of these writings touch upon certain parties, groups, teachings and figures. For that reason, I understand that not everyone will agree with BAZ. I also understand that some parties may be angry, offended or strongly object to the writings that are published.
However, objection to a writing does not give anyone the right to make threats, harassment, intimidation, disclosure of personal information or any act that may endanger the safety of others.
THREATS THAT HAVE BEEN DETECTED
Previously, I received several comments on Facebook articles which, in my assessment, could be understood as death threats or threats of physical violence against BAZ.
At the initial stage, I took a cautious approach. I regarded those comments as excessive jokes made by irresponsible accounts, including accounts with locked profiles or accounts that were not open to the public. The action taken at that time was only to delete the relevant comments and block the accounts concerned.
However, the situation changed when I was informed that the personal information of at least two individuals from among those assisting Team BAZ had been exposed or was being attempted for dissemination. The information was reported to involve serious personal details, including identity card numbers, individual photographs, banking information, family photographs, home addresses and other information that could be used to trace them or interfere with their safety.
This matter can no longer be treated lightly. When the element of threats against BAZ is combined with attempts to collect, disclose or disseminate the personal information of Team BAZ, the matter forms a pattern of conduct that is deeply concerning.
I am not publicly accusing any specific individual through this notice. However, I have the right to state that this pattern may be interpreted as a safety threat, organised harassment, unauthorised disclosure of personal information and an attempt to pressure the BAZ platform through technical parties who should not have become targets.
THE POSITION OF THE WRITER AND TEAM BAZ
I wish to emphasise once again that the proper target for any party that disagrees with BAZ writings should be the arguments, textual evidence, analysis and content that are published, not technical members, volunteers, developers, admins or their families.
If any party wishes to object, object to the content of the writing. Answer arguments with arguments. Challenge analysis with analysis. Bring evidence, proof, data, source texts and references.
Do not turn another person’s personal information into a weapon. Do not turn their families into pressure points. Do not turn home addresses, identity card numbers, banking information, personal photographs or their identities into material for intimidation.
From the standpoint of my position as a writer who operates remotely and is not within the physical operational structure of Team BAZ, I view the act of targeting the Team Developer as something unjust, unethical and beyond reasonable limits.
They are bearing risks that they should not have to bear. They help ensure that this platform exists, operates and remains accessible, including in the event that the BAZ Facebook page disappears, is restricted or can no longer be used.
I have already informed readers that if the Facebook page is no longer safe or no longer suitable for use, readers may continue referring to the BAZ website. I have also advised the Team Developer that they no longer need to open a new Facebook page if the existing page disappears or is deleted.
Human safety is more important than the continuity of social media.
FORMAL DEMAND TO CEASE, DELETE AND NOT DISSEMINATE PERSONAL INFORMATION
Through this notice, BAZ firmly demands that any party who stores, collects, possesses, disseminates or receives the personal information of any individual associated with Team BAZ immediately cease such conduct.
All personal information obtained without permission, not verified as authentic, speculative in nature or lacking any lawful basis must be deleted from each person’s possession.
This demand includes, but is not limited to:
- Identity card numbers.
- Home addresses.
- Banking information.
- Personal photographs.
- Family photographs.
- Phone numbers.
- Employment information.
- Company information.
- Personal social media account information.
- Any information that may be used to trace, harass, threaten or endanger any individual associated with BAZ.
Any act of storing, disseminating, circulating, publishing, sending, selling, transferring or using such information after this notice has been published on Facebook and the website will be treated as intentional, knowing and deliberate conduct.
PRESERVATION OF EVIDENCE AND FURTHER ACTION
After this notice is issued, BAZ will take more serious steps to document any threats, intimidation, harassment, defamation, attacks, disclosure of personal information or attempted doxxing against any individual associated with the BAZ platform.
Any act of doxxing, namely the disclosure of personal information without consent, is strictly prohibited and will be regarded as a threat to the safety of the individual concerned.
All relevant evidence may be retained, including screenshots, links, URLs, account names, posting times, comment records, private messages, dissemination information and any material that may assist further action.
If any death threat, physical threat, safety intimidation, disclosure of personal information or equivalent act occurs after this notice is published, any party who possesses, disseminates or assists in the dissemination of such personal information may be treated, reported or relied upon as being involved in a pattern of conduct that threatens the safety of BAZ or persons associated with Team BAZ.
BAZ reserves the right to take appropriate action according to the relevant legal jurisdiction, including in Malaysia or in any other country connected to the act, the platform used or the individuals involved.
Such action may include reports to the authorities, complaints to platform providers, civil action, claims for damages, applications for protection and any other action deemed necessary to protect the safety, dignity and rights of the parties involved.
THE POSSIBILITY OF BAZ WITHDRAWING FROM SOCIAL MEDIA
After this notice is issued, the Admin and I will reassess all matters relating to safety.
If necessary, BAZ will withdraw from social media and publish writings only through the official website, with access possibly limited to members only. If the situation becomes more serious, Team BAZ may also be removed from any open technical involvement for their own safety.
If that happens, I cannot guarantee how long the BAZ platform will be able to continue surviving in its current form.
I do not want matters to reach that stage. However, human safety remains more important than the existence of a page, a website or a writing platform.
CLOSING
To all readers who value BAZ writings, I ask for your goodwill not to support, not to disseminate and not to allow any act of disclosing the personal information of any party associated with BAZ.
If you disagree with BAZ writings, object academically. If you wish to reject BAZ arguments, answer them with textual evidence and proof. If you believe BAZ has erred, show the error with manners and honesty.
However, never turn an individual’s identity, family, home address, banking information, identity card number or any personal information into a tool of pressure.
As the writer and custodian of the trust of this platform, I am responsible for prioritising the safety of every member of Team BAZ. If their safety can no longer be guaranteed, then we are prepared to cease open operations or limit publication to safer channels.
This notice is issued as an official reminder, a public record and an early notification that BAZ will not remain silent if threats, intimidation or disclosure of personal information continue to occur.
May Allah protect all those who sincerely assist the work of truth, writing and disclosure from fitnah, oppression and the actions of people who transgress all bounds.
