(Online) Censorship in Southeast Asia | #rp15
The document summarizes online censorship practices in Southeast Asian countries. It finds that most countries engage in some level of censorship, blocking content and arresting ICT users. Laws against things like sedition, defamation, and false information are used to prosecute social media users. Countries vary in terms of press freedom and freedom on the net, with Brunei, Vietnam and Thailand among the most restrictive and Philippines among the least. Singapore in particular is highlighted for its prosecution of a 17-year old for a Facebook post deemed to promote racial tensions.
