Burma clamps down on web 

The Burmese authorities have banned the country's Internet users from
issuing material of a political nature. 

Burmese television said that the main Internet service provider, Myanmar
Post and Telecommunications had outlawed the use of sites which were -- as
it put it -- detrimental to government policies. 

The new regulations also call for users to obtain state authorisation before
creating web pages.
