The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has instructed Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to redirect Domain Name Service (DNS) traffic that uses third-party DNS servers back to their own DNS servers

MCMC has blocked a total of 24,277 websites between between 2018 to Aug 1, classified into various categories, which are online gambling (39 per cent), pornography/obscene content (31 per cent), copyright infringement (14 per cent), other harmful sites (12 per cent), prostitution (two per cent) and unlawful investments/scams (two per cent).

“It has been falsely claimed that the measure undertaken by MCMC is a draconian measure. We reiterate that Malaysia’s implementation is for the protection of vulnerable groups from harmful online content.

    As an American I found it clown to see UK sun run this trash when my own ISP is doing something similar and took me extensive research to figure wtf was going on few years back.

    I don’t support some clowns in Malaysia doing their but it doesn’t matter to me, what matters to be is that 1) my corpo daddy is colluding with daddy Sam to do do it; and 2) my fake news would never run such a headline.

    Point of my post is to educate mostly US and western audiences that our dearest regimes are doing this to do today.

    Tone is an artistic touch, it is provocative maybe it will get people going and start asking questions.

    It is only shot post so I understand why people would push back and that’s good, conversion is being had on the topic.
