De facto one-party state decrees censorship scheme that sounds a lot like China's Great Firewall Laura Dobberstein Thu 18 Feb 2021 // 05:58 UTC Share Copy Cambodia has formally announced a National Internet Gateway that will filter all traffic coming into the country, or traversing networks within its borders. In a decree posted to Facebook on Wednesday, the nation outlined a system that resembles China’s notorious Great Firewall. Cambodia's decree says the Gateway will strengthen the efficiency and effectiveness of national debt collection, national security protection and help maintain social order and culture. All local ISPs and telcos will have to route traffic through the Gateway. Any that don't may have their bank accounts frozen, or licenses revoked.
