Cambodia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation has issued a clarification<\/a> about the role of the “National Internet Gateway” that will commence operations tomorrow, stating that descriptions of it as an instrument of pervasive surveillance are “unfounded.”<\/p>\n

As reported yesterday<\/a> in The Register<\/i>, human rights organisations, big tech, and academics believe the Gateway is all about surveillance, in the service of suppressing political opposition, and perhaps with some crony capitalism thrown in for good measure.<\/p>\n

However, a Ministry spokesperson insists the Gateway is actually an instrument to “strengthen national security and tax collection as well as to maintain social order and protect national culture.”<\/p>\n
