Jumping into the breach for a dubious website such as KI-Media even by inference is definitely a questionable exercise. The fact that the U. S. government ordered its employees from viewing Wikileaks is a severe infringement of human rights in itself. The cited double standard in the U. S. extends to much more than just this instance. <br /><br />As for the websites in question in Cambodia, they are not proponents of free speech and human rights as they so openly trample on others' rights by allowing insults of the worst kind to be hurled at others. They don't deserve to be shut down, they just deserve to be ignored. The PPP is just doing them a great favor by publishing accounts of purported attempts to block access to them. It is not so much reporting about the government's alleged attempts at silencing critical blogs but is attaching unfounded importance to a trash site. This site prides itself of receiving an incredible number of hits, which is easily explained by all those many vile comments, which appear to come from mostly young, immature, and very uneducated readers.Sites like KI-Media attract this kind of reader like a dung heap attracts flies.<br /><br />As mentioned before the email in question was either a plant or the work of an overzealous employee, no matter what his rank. This whole affair was once again the proverbial storm in a tea kettle.KJEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869408230216868495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268514535295850133.post-89688165729829373492011-02-21T10:51:47.709-08:002011-02-21T10:51:47.709-08:00Bo says:

Silencing ideas does not make them go away. Second, we must protect both transparency and confidentiality. Transparency is critical. We can and should give citizens information about their governments”.<br /><br />I also believe that these universal human rights have certain limitations and boundaries that no one including KI media blogger should over step. A few bloggers such as KI media have allowed so many commentators to use threats, foul and detestable language which is a deliberate attempt to try to harm others physically and mentally. KI media blogger has crossed over the line and abused the universal human rights of internet freedom and freedom of expression. If KI media blogger continues being irresponsible and allowing these kinds of abuses to continues then it deserves to be blocked. This not about restricting one’s freedom but rather a more appropriate way to eliminate the abuse of one’s freedom.<br /><br />Several commentators have expressed hatred and threats toward each other. For instance, one of the commentators said, “You mother f_ _ ker, if I knew where you live, I would go to your house and rape your mother and then kill you”. And the response was “your mother is a f_ _king whore”. This is not peaceful or civilized exchange or sharing of useful information, but it is purely attacks and disorderly conducts.<br /><br />If any high profile U. S. government’s official believes these kinds of abusive language and threats are part of the ingredients of freedom of speech and democracy then I would like for him or her to publicly make a statement about it.<br /><br />However, I do not mind when KI media blogger calls some Cambodian officers as traitors, ignorant, and stupid. That sort of language may be a harsh to expression of dislike or dismay but is not abusive. Even though from time to time I have read some KI media posts that are not true, made up stories and disinformation, I personally still believe that KI media has the right to do so. Whoever reads these articles posted at KI media, including myself, need to make our own analysis. We do not need any government intervention.<br /><br />By the same token, I also believe that the Cambodian government has wrongly arrested a person who was sharing a hard copy of information with his coworker, regardless of whether or not this information was faulty or antigovernment.<br /><br />In the United States the government has forbidden U.S government employees from viewing Wikileaks. Many law makers want to shut down Wikileaks for good. I believe the U. S. is playing a double standard and is being hypocritical on this matter (don’t what I do, but do what I’ve said).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268514535295850133.post-77539038538063711302011-02-18T04:16:40.091-08:002011-02-18T04:16:40.091-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268514535295850133.post-84783117374652275852011-02-18T04:04:56.705-08:002011-02-18T04:04:56.705-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268514535295850133.post-9915600438312272502011-02-18T04:03:23.339-08:002011-02-18T04:03:23.339-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268514535295850133.post-60008083544479178152011-02-18T04:00:07.725-08:002011-02-18T04:00:07.725-08:00Well, nobody ever said that the order from Cambodi...Well, nobody ever said that the order from Cambodian government makes sense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268514535295850133.post-35243520898121191462011-02-18T03:57:11.527-08:002011-02-18T03:57:11.527-08:00Sieng Sithy, deputy director of the Directorate of...Sieng Sithy, deputy director of the Directorate of Telecommunications Policy Regulation at the MPTC, wrote an email to Ezecom, Metfone, Citylink, Digi, AngkorNet, WiCam, TC, Camnet, Online and Camintel thanking them for “cooperation” in blocking access to several websites, including KI-Media, Khmerization and a site featuring the art of political cartoonist Sacrava.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268514535295850133.post-5737528168398771642011-02-18T03:54:49.507-08:002011-02-18T03:54:49.507-08:00"WiCam users attempting to access KI-Media sa..."WiCam users attempting to access KI-Media said they saw an error message, signed by “WiCam Tech Support”, saying the site had been “blocked as ordered” by MPTC."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268514535295850133.post-64713956220674353042011-02-17T19:51:34.933-08:002011-02-17T19:51:34.933-08:00Well, KI-Media is still accessible through other I...Well, KI-Media is still accessible through other ISPs; I don't think it makes sense to order 10 ISPs to block it but the most widely used, Mobitel, is not affected. <br />I have no proof of that but it smells as if that leaked email was a plant and the PPP fell victim to it.<br />Sometimes, the PPP's server seems to be overloaded and I can't access it. So I go to KI-Media as they post PPP articles too (copy right?). I have never encountered any problems that were not server-related in accessing any web-page in and from Cambodia.KJEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869408230216868495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268514535295850133.post-3815411777669017482011-02-17T10:10:55.019-08:002011-02-17T10:10:55.019-08:00KJE,
