This has been a tricky one as this website was not set up for the purpose of political discourse.

Vodcasts are also disallowed, if you legal moles were trying to find a way around this. The rationale as paraphrased by Channel News Asia was that “the government’s view is that people can have diverse views, but should not hide behind the anonymity of the internet, to manipulate public opinion”.
