In Myanmar, Facebook is the window to reality. In the early days of the 2021 coup, the Ministry of Transport and Communications imposed blocking orders on Facebook and WhatsApp. Most independent media have been extinguished amid financial and physical threats.

Those evading conscription now face penalties in the form of heavy fines or imprisonment for three to five years.
