Internet freedom has plummeted under Myanmar’s junta: report

Suppression of internet freedom and security in Myanmar is significantly worse today than it was four years ago, when the junta seized power in a coup d’etat, according to a group monitoring digital access in the country.

The Myanmar Internet Project, or MIP, a digital freedom watchdog based in Thailand, reported on Tuesday that the junta caused more than 130 internet blackouts in 82 townships in 10 regions and states in 2024 alone.
