Indonesia is joining the rest of the world in cracking down on online speech. Perhaps the lesson here is that no matter how much the Internet supposedly "routes around censorship," the most vulnerable points are the humans on both ends.

Hi there, Just to add gasoline on the burning flame. It doesn't happen just now. It is always like that. The attention on Indonesia issues by people (western media) is too much focus on East Timor and they forget that there are much more severe violations happening. I just hope that this example will open people's eyes that Indonesian's problems are not only East Timor affairs but much more. Arrest of one mailing list's maintainer is common, you would be surprised how many people actually 'disappear' because of this.
