Military-Ruled Myanmar Falls to Bottom of Internet Freedom Ranking – The Diplomat 10/23/24, 10:29 AM category. The brightest spots were Malaysia (60 out of 100) and the Philippines (60), followed by Singapore (53), Indonesia (49), and Cambodia (43), all of which were graded as “partly free.” Thailand (39) fell into the “not free” category, a likely result of its raft of prosecutions of users for posting online comments deemed critical of the monarchy. Vietnam, with its slightly more porous facsimile of China’s regime of internet controls, scored a lowly 22, putting it squarely in the “not free” category. Laos and Brunei were not included in the report, although it would be a surprise if either rose much beyond the mid-levels of the ranking.
