Helped by pro-junta social media channels, the regime is targeting those who post anything critical, or deemed to be pro-resistance, with harassment and arrest.
Arrests have increased this month. Some people have been detained for turning their Facebook profiles black to mourn the victims of the Pazi Gyi aerial massacre.
The Myanmar junta is building an alternative propaganda machine and banning Youtube and Facebook across the country. MTube and OKPar apps are being offered as alternatives.
