Vietnam Internet Firewall: Continued Crackdown

I wrote an earlier post about my personal experience with (Facebook) being blocked in Vietnam. Looks like Vietnam is continuing to apply the pressure, now to bloggers.

In this CNN video, heroic blogger Nguyen Ngoc Nhu Quynh talks about the censorship and harrassment she’s faced since blogging about hushed Chinese mining operations in Vietnam’s highlands.

Vietnam has come a long way but I guess they see the Internet as a propaganda tool just like the war days. Maybe its a battle they find hard to win so they are trying to limit its use.
