  Most of them are oblivious to what they did.  And some, such as the one in 
High Wycomb, England that supplies Burma with their internet connection... 
they claim to be doing something good.

 I think it would be good to raise the awareness of the WEB hosting service 
providers about the HR violations behind Myanmar trade.  I'm sure they would 
like to go to bed with clear conscience.  Well, I hope.

severely limits Internet usage, according to the French media freedom group, 
Reporters Sans Frontières. The report issued in Paris said that a number of 
countries all but bar the Internet from their territory because they fear it 
is a threat to "national security or social order." The report describes 
Burma's army junta as slightly more tolerant of Internet use than Iraq, North 
Korea, and Libya but emphasizes that the Burmese regime controls all Internet 
service and that owners of unregistered computers face up to 15 years 
imprisonment. Agence France Presse added on 21 August that America Online has 
delinked its server from the official junta web page after pro-democracy 
groups complained that AOL was providing a platform for a regime that 
violates human rights and restricts Internet access.
