This is a uniquely Burmese or Myanmar way to police the internet. Has anyone ever heard of this activity taking place anywhere else?

Internet users in Chin state warned not to send anti-government mail
Khonumthung

Internet users in Matupi town, Chin state, Burma have been warned not to
send anti-government e mails by Burma's ruling military junta. A new  
cyber café has been set up in Matupi.

Officials of the Union Solidarity and Development Association, a junta
backed organization, set up an internet café for public use adjacent to
the police station in Matupi town in July this year.

The local authorities pasted posters in every corner of the main road in
Matupi town warming users not to send black mail to prevent people from
spreading anti-junta propaganda to the outside world over the net,
according to a local in Chin state.

The people were notified that whoever mails anti-junta messages through
the internet would be dealt with severely by the authorities. However, the
punishment for flouting the rule by internet users is not mentioned.

 E-mail senders have to show letters and email addresses to staff from the
USDA office handling computer. All incoming and outgoing e mails were
checked by USDA office staff.

 "We submit the papers that included letters we wrote to our friends to
office staff. We have no knowledge of using the computer and sending e
mails", said one sender in Matupi.

The USDA charge internet users between Kyat 500 and Kyat 1,000 (Burmese
currency) since the internet café is newly set up. They charge around Kyat
500-to 600 to receive mails.

Since 2006, the military authorities had set up internet cafés in other
towns of Chin state where they charge around Kyat 3000 to Kyat 4000 an
hour.

Recently, Burmese military government geared up its cyber village project
for internet access in rural area like in urban areas.
