Don’t miss the #RightsCon panel, “When the facts go offline: Information blackouts during internet shutdowns” to better understand the the intersections between shutdowns and misinformation at by Access Now and @Meedan: https://t.co/QDjomu5Lc7

[Htaike Htaike Aung @barnyar]

@NUGMyanmar appointed a minister of ICT yesterday alongside with a few others and I’m confused.This is a very infrastructure based ministry where very little can be done on the NUG level. Filling up spots without actually having strategy is just a waste of time and resources.

Confirmed: Internet has been cut in #Myanmar from 1 am Sunday, the 35th consecutive night of shutdowns imposed by the military regime. Meanwhile:

🗓 Mobile data disabled: 6 days
🗓 Public wifi limited: 4 days

#InternetShutDown in 21st century is a clear violation of our right to information, right to health care, education & right to life. Internet is our basic right.

It is, by any means, UNACCEPTABLE that we can't use internet via our mobile since #Mar15Coup in #Myanmar. #KeepItOn

[Kelley Currie @KelleyCurrie]

It is so puzzling to me why certain commentators who’ve consistently been wrong on the exact thing they’re commenting on continue to get air time when there are so many excellent Burmese analysts who can provide more credible insight, in English, on #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar?

[MIDO @myanmarido]

We, representatives of #Myanmar CSOs, are seriously concerned by silence of @UNinMyanmar &urge its leaders to speak out &take action. Shocking only 5 out of 20 UN agencies operating inside Myanmar have publicly commented on military coup #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

Disheartening to see #Internet #censorship on these scales in #Myanmar, but it's vital that we know its extent. I'm grateful to have the chance to work on this report with @agrabeli_, @hellais, @myanmarido, and @AlbertoDainotti, and shed some light on #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

[MIDO @myanmarido]

We contributed to @OpenObservatory 's report on the data of internet blocks and internet outages following the military coup. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar #KeepitOn

[UK in Myanmar 🇬🇧 @ukinmyanmar]

The military junta in #Myanmar says it wants to hold new elections, but by banning media outlets it is dismantling one of the pillars of democracy. We will continue to support media freedom and stand up for the rights of journalists.

[MIDO @myanmarido]

Very timely and important, but we're afraid the session will be held during the time the military will be imposing internet curfew on us. #keepiton #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

[Freedom House @freedomhouse]

Government-led internet shutdowns are a popular tool used to keep citizens in the dark. Tomorrow, join @AdrianShahbaz, @FelAnthonio, @Vivian, Shayna Bauchner, and Sophie Schmidt at @AspenInstitute to learn what we can do about it.
