Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Kind of reminds me of blocked content on Facebook and Twitter in early 2021.What were the experts' positions then? When I searched Reporters Without Borders and Trump I can only find instances where he was villified by them. It appears they were silent when our elected was Pres. was being censored, so how do you trust their voice as being one that is strictly the voice against censorshop? I know this article is about Singapore, but the organization critiquing the new law is not itself without issues.

ISPs are also compelled to censor and turn over customer information to the government.
