    Despite the fact that there are many hardcore porn sites available, the GutterUncensored.com is one of those “undesirable websites” to the Fascists ruling Malaysia. What they don't know is the GutterUncensored is everywhere. What are they going to do block Facebook too? I can change the domain tomorrow if I wish. Fuck, I could do it in 2 minutes. Or just post what ever on the Facebook fan page. But still a lot of people are not happy after two weeks of their government blocking Malaysia's favorite blog for knocking their corrupt double standard politicians down a notch and scandals from around the word.

    Internet users upset over Govt’s filter attempt

    PETALING JAYA: Online and wire agency reports that the Government is mulling an Internet filtering system similar to China’s controversial “Green Dam” project has got the local online community in a huff, while technology experts questioned the viability of the project.

    Online portals and wire agencies reported earlier Thursday that the Government has called for a tender for a system that could block “undesirable websites.”

    Information, Communication and Culture Minister Rais Yatim, whose ministry issued the tender, also plans to secure direct control over the content and monitoring division of Malaysia’s Internet regulator, Reuters quoted a source as saying.

    Rais himself said last month that he would introduce measures to “control the bad” elements on the Internet.

    Neither Rais, nor any of the government bodies related to technology, were available for comment at press time.

    China’s Green Dam project sought to install software filters on all computers sold in the country to block pornography and “other harmful content,” but has been put on the backburner because of technical issues and a rising tide of protest from civil society in and outside China.

    The Association of the Computer and Multimedia Industry of Malaysia (Pikom) was disappointed with what it said was the Malaysian Government’s attempt to censor the Internet.

    “It has gone against its word to ensure the medium remains open and uncensored,” Pikom chairman David Wong said.

    The MSC Malaysia Bill of Guarantees specifies that the Internet will not be censored to ensure the success of the MSC Malaysia initiative, he noted.

    “It will also be difficult to filter ‘harmful content,’ especially that found in blogs, on the Internet as it knows no boundaries,” he said.

    Wong said Internet users did not share their thoughts only on blogs, but also through social network sites such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace, as well as chatrooms and forums.

    He said a better and more viable measure would be to educate the public on the consquences of spreading harmful or irresponsible content.

    Technology advocate Dinesh Nair said the Government’s efforts might just be in vain.

    “They can try to filter the Internet but it won’t work,” he said.

    He also believed that if the main reason was to block “undesirable content,” the Government would be better off using the educational approach.

    If the Government were to block one “harmful site,” another would just pop up in its place, he added.

    Internet users, he said, view online censorship as damaging and will always find ways to circumvent any such barrier.

    “It’s better to educate the rakyat (people) to be proactive and identify these sites and exercise good Internet surfing habits, rather than censoring the Internet,” he said.

    Artist and new media advocate Muid Latif said Internet censorship would only contribute to the negative growth of the Malaysian information and communications technology sector, especially in the area of creative content.

    “This ridiculous restriction will reflect badly on Malaysia and potential investors will think twice about making an investment here,” he said.

    Many in the Government have blamed the vibrant and critical Internet culture for Barisan Nasional’s losses in the 12th General Election in March last year, and there has been pressure from some quarters to muzzle the medium.

    The Government had previously considered registering bloggers, many of whom are critical of the ruling coalition.



    It's interesting watching an entire country take one giant step backward after reaching for the future. Poor the Malaysia people. The government is screwing the shit out of them and the GutterUncensored.com must be costing them millions in censorship technology. LOL... People want to be free and to be free at least in their damn homes. What are the politicians afraid of if they have nothing to hide? Better question is what they have to hide? Or when it will be exposed? It might be on Facebook. LOL...
