The site would be blocked or taken down if national security is a concern. The technical term in the industry is " site takedown" The main feed is controlled by Singtel and there are arrangements in place with ISPs around the world. This is the same mechanism that is used to control online pedophilia, online arms and contraband trade. For internal monitoring, there is a whole suite of vendors and applications that can do the same.
If the people behind this is more than one person and their identities are not known, the authorities would have done the trace or they would have blocked it. The primary concern is foreign agencies such as Malaysia and the US playing around with our internal politics.
The intelligence agencies obviously know who is behind it and will not move until a genuine threat is present. He does a service to the establishment by
projecting that dissent and opposition to the govt is active and present and this pleases first world investors who are facing pressure from their own local NGOs. The bonus is that he does something worse to the opposition - the character assassination of individuals associated with opposition.
One must be silly to think that TR is fighting a rearguard action and the authorities have not been able to tackle them. Get real.
Here is single example and those who know the history will understand. Joe has made numerous attempts to hire editors and even personalities like Tan Kin Lian but failed because he refused to disclose his identity. He however managed to screw Kent Ridge Common by persuading Kelvin to do some thing that he should not have done and the premature registration of "Kent Ridge Review" to be run by Kelvin failed. The site is still registered and hosted by the same TR servers. By now you must know that NUS authorities stepped in and sought the removal of Kelvin as they did the democracy wall, the protest on social engineering and the tuition fee increase. He however manage to engage his correspondent Khalil Adis to write articles and has paid him. Those records can be traced because of AML. If you do not know what AML is , best to step away. Others like Gilbert Goh, Yoong, and Ng are freely submitting and they are looking for maximum exposure for their articles.
As time goes on , one wonders if he is the same chap and if there are others. True to form, he came roaring back with "Namqiong" and with classic style yesterday. Looks like his PM network is also intact.
This journey continues.
