The Khmer Times has miraculously escaped this crackdown on independent media.

As I replied to her and others, all are working for me on Digi and Smart. The Cambodia Daily block has been that way since they closed.

Try Smart again. It's not working for me. Nor is MekongNet.

Now it makes sense. Since I woke at 6 am, I haven't been able to access the ABC news website. Hardly co-incidental, as the ABC have been heavily promoting this coming Monday's Four Corners expose of corruption and dictatorship in Cambodia, which, as usual, relies heavily on accepting verbatim the ridiculous assertions of chronic liars Sam Rainsey and Khmer-Australian state MP Hong Lim. In past ABC interviews, Lim has claimed such idiocies as 2 million people took part in Kem Ley's funeral procession and that Rainsy and Sokha were given sanctuary in the US Embassy after assassination attempts by the CPP following the 2013 election. Earlier this year, Rainsey stated on the ABC that HE had already agreed secretly to hand over power to him after the election and that arrangements were in place for him to be relocated to another country. Not surprising that authorities don't want the public to be exposed to bullshit like that prior to tomorrow's election.
TOF is also inaccessible on my ISP, PPCTV Internet, but that may be part of their ongoing "technical difficulties".

Why haven't you all followed advice of knowledgeable tech people and installed VPNs on your phone to use?

And Gavinmac...you just don't learn, or is it that your allegiances are being displayed? The last time you started a similar thread, you contributed to naming established organisations that were not following an order, and caused the remaining few to have to follow orders. Where's that thread?

Strange.... I have had no problem whatsoever viewing my western media websites, newspapers, and channels. Just tried abc aus and it works fine.
Fake news?

Not fake news. The 2 sites I mentioned are still down, while any others I try are fine. I think it depends on the ISP and the type of service-I'm on a PC.
