This time in the National Assembly, they proposed an amendment to the Information and Communication Network Act.
Starting from July 2026, the relevant bill literally allows any community or website to be shut down based on 'arbitrary standards'.
The criteria for illegal information are changing. Previously, even if you told the truth, it could be regulated if it constituted defamation, but now only false statements are considered illegal information. Instead, regulations on hate speech and false/manipulated information are becoming much stricter.
Control is gradually getting tighter.

Lol, they're really dedicated to stripping away freedoms
So false information becomes 'illegal info' but defamation that states facts doesn't get blocked or deleted? That's the logic?
lmao good luck with that, governments can barely keep their own websites secure
Yesterday they said the cigarette price hike was for public health (meanwhile they're raising it to the max tax bracket + raising it even more), now they want to raise it to 100k and simultaneously say alcohol should be 10x more expensiveβyet the people who supported THAT act like THIS is some China-level dystopia πππππ So we have to flush our freedom to smoke and drink down the toilet, but watching adult content is apparently sacred?
Nah I don't support either one
wait this has to be fake right?? half the internet would just vanish π
They're already blocking sites that aren't even illegal. Looks like they're starting with things people won't push back on, but the real endgame is total Chinese-style censorship and control
Yo guys, Floo is safeβthe pro-government guys were basically singing hymns for this day, right? Now the sketchy communities get wiped out by censorship and Floo survives as the government-approved site. Props to the government-picked censorship!
finally!! been saying this for years, but also RIP my streaming sites π
