Total s response new
In February 2021, Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Total to respond. The response received is as follows:
Total through its subsidiary Total E&P Myanmar has been present in Myanmar since 1992 as operator under a production sharing contract (PSC) for the production of natural gas from the Yadana Field. 50% of the gas used to generate electricity for the inhabitants of Yangon comes from the Yadana field.  Total E&P Myanmar conducts business in a responsible manner, respecting the law and universal human rights to benefit the communities where it works.

Myanmar’s military government has recently drafted new laws governing the Internet and sent them to telcos as well as online service providers for feedback. However, the proposed legal changes have been apparently met with strong criticism due to their burdensome and draconian requirements alongside the potential for abuse, and divergence from prior government promises.

If these new laws are to be passed, all online platforms in Myanmar would be required to keep user data, including IP addresses, home addresses, and ID numbers, for three years using a system that will be chosen by the government.
The government could also order user accounts to be intercepted, blocked, or removed after being flagged for inciting hate, spreading disinformation, or breaking other laws. Authorities also wouldn’t need a warrant when requesting access to data.
