Vietnamese government commands ISPs to stop being safe harbors
The Vietnamese government ordered the country's five (that's 5) ISPs to block users' access to content "subversive and harmful to national security". a leading official explained in an interview with Vietnam Investment Review: "The main reason we have this situation is that the management capability of the Internet has not caught up with the development of its demands." That Ministry prefersofficial and approved view only. However, this country's internet culture also thrives on pirated software.
