TOC The Online Censor Strikes Again, Pot Calling Kettle White?

YPAP and TOC have much in common. YPAP recently reached across the (figurative) table and gave TOC one tight slap. TOC then KBKB about no free speech, say YPAP only want to hear the good stuff.

But is this "The Pot Calling The Kettle WHITE"?

Singaporeans For Free Speech & Transparency now brings you more revelations about TOC The Online Censor - and how they are CENSORING critics on their website. Unlike Temasek Review which isn't afraid to let it all hang out (and we're not referring to a certain video here).



CASE 1: MR JAMES TAY

BEFORE
One of our supporters, a very brave Mr James Tay, posted a link to our blog on the TOC thread:



AFTER
But a mere 24 hours later, James Tay's comment had been taken down. Luckily James had his own screenshots to show they had converted the comment back to "awaiting moderation".



What was wrong with James Tay publishing a link to our website?


CASE 2: TEMUJIN (who is this guy?)

Some poor guy Temujin also kena censored -- he posted just before James Tay, but the comment is now gone, along with many others critical of TOC. If you don't believe, go to the TOC page and search for the name.

BEFORE & AFTER


So why is TOC now so aggressive? Or have Choo Zheng Xi and Andrew Loh learned the art of repression from their YPAP opponents?
