- geomark 11y agoAlready in proposal stage in many places. My current home, Thailand, just announced plans for their own version. I am not amused. However, hilarity has already ensued. The gov here is so incompetent that they couldn't even make an annoucement without having a bunch of gov websites taken down by a manual DDOS attack yesterday [1]. A few thousand people coordinated via social media to repeatedly visit the gov's ICT website which brought it to a standstill. Yet the gov thinks they can manage a single internet gateway to facilitate surveillance and it won't be ruinous.
