I know this is an old threat, but internet censorship really is one of the worst things that could potentially happen.

Those are bad things happening to you.

What are the worst things for a society?
Probably not internet censorship directly, though the 'internet' part of that is redundant these days.
But censorship potentially throws a veil over much more sinister developments, and is itself a measure of how controlled a society is.

Hey all,
I'm bumping up this thread because there has been another official government announcement today about "fake news" . So, here's a reminder. In Cambodia, posting anything declared to be "fake news" by official sources can get you sued for defamation or incitement to stir up unrest or something similar. I don't know who actually gets sued, but it's not the kind of attention we want for the forum.(Or that you would want either.)
This is not a new problem, but new CEO forum members might need to be reminded that freedom of speech can be very relative in Cambodia, so you do need to mind what you say and what you post here.

As more subjects are being declared fake news by the authorities, we are reduced to a form of self-censorship about what we post on the open forum unfortunately. (Fortunately, we also have the closed discussion forum, paradoxically for open discussion. ) And also unfortunately, Cambodia's new big bro is very attached to internet censorship, so things are not likely to improve in the near future.


Today's latest "fake news" subject is here, just so you know.

You’ll need to access their servers to get out of cam then connect to midgetporn.com. If they are not based here there will be blocks.

if they are based here then they could be run by the government, or giving their information to government. if not based here you are still being monitored. people seem to think vpns are the solution but I think they are a little misguided there.

But some subjects are apparently ok to discuss on the darknet....
I dont think that's too wise.
Just my 2c.
