Someone forgot to buy the gear

Redfaced Cambodian government officials slammed the brakes on a plan to build a great firewall similar to China because someone forgot to order the right gear.

The government of Cambodia hit the headlines in February 2021 saying it would build a firewall similar to China.

The move was widely condemned as the enabling legislation gave the regime – which has banned opposition parties from contesting elections – the power to force all internet traffic to or from the country, and within its borders, to pass through the Gateway.

Human rights organisations, big tech, and the United Nations slammed the move as conferring broad surveillance powers that have the potential to be employed to suppress free speech and political opposition.
