Cambodia: The State of Internet Censorship

Online news sites and other websites are periodically blocked in Cambodia, particularly those that disseminate information that could be perceived as a threat to the ruling government. However, all of these platforms should be accessible from all networks 24 hours a day in order to promote Digital Rights and Freedom of Expression through online platforms, especially for social media and all websites. To examine the current state of internet censorship in Cambodia, the Open Observatory of Network Interference (OONI), Sinar Project, and the Advocacy and Policy Institute with the participation of Digital Right Working Group (DRWG) collaborated on a joint study to examine whether internet censorship events were persisting in the country through data collection and analysis of network measurements to uncover trends of internet censorship.
