'National internet gateway' includes 'censorship angle' that alarms NGOs

 

PHNOM PENH -- Cambodia's government will route all web traffic through a "national internet gateway" under plans that human rights advocates fear will see critical content blocked by a China-style firewall.

 

The plans are laid out in a yet-to-be-signed sub-decree drafted in July and obtained by the Nikkei Asian Review.

 

The document states the national internet gateway will manage internet connections in the country to enhance "national revenue collection," protect "national security" and assure "social order."

True.

How many of you remember this back in 2015 after the last coup by General Prayut in Thailand - (Quote VOA 2015):-

 

The military government of Thailand is steadily moving forward with plans to build a massive Internet firewall that would allow officials to censor and conduct surveillance on nearly all digital traffic in and out of the country.

 

The unpopular plan was scrapped by the military, but these days with the anti government and anti military protests WHO KNOWS????

No way, staying put to continue enjoying my retirement. I have learnt one thing living in Thailand and now Cambodia, never get actively involved in politics - that is what it is all about!
