Internet Censorship in Burma Stepped Up

With all the recent focus on Iran’s censorship practices, i figured i’ll call out attention to another country Burma which routinely censors the internet and has recently stepped up its efforts in policing the net and denying its citizens access to information.

With the aid of western technology companies such as the U.S company FortiNet, the military ruled country routinely filters political opposition websites, human rights pages, and perhaps most importantly proxy sites such as www.3proxy.com among many others which have in the past enabled Burmese citizens to circumvent and get around state implemented internet filters/firewalls to access banned content.
