This move by Singapore to censor a newsgroup posting is a good example of the overbreadth of government censorship. It's a bait-and-switch maneuver: say you're going after porn but censor "offensive" speech.

The regulations ban contents that "tend to bring the Government into hatred or contempt,"

Isn't it too bad governments don't ban THEIR OWN actions which "tend to bring the Government into hatred or contempt"? After all, I think behind every example of "hatred or contempt" for government, you'll find an act by government which caused it. Jim Bell jimbell@pacifier.com
