Local telecommunications providers were ordered by the Department of Transportation on Wednesday to block access to Facebook until the end of the week. The platform was contributing to the destabilization of the country, it was said to justify.
The military in the former Burma had put into power on Monday night, arrested the de facto head of government Aung San Suu Kyi and other politicians and imposed a one-year state of emergency on the Southeast Asian country. Suu Kyi, who is very popular with the people, is said to have been under house arrest ever since. The new military leadership wants to charge the Nobel Peace Prize laureate with high treason.
Since the coup, calls for civil disobedience and videos of protests have gone viral on Facebook. The platform is far more popular in the country with 54 million inhabitants than other Internet platforms such as Twitter. Many Facebook users shared videos in which residents of the largest city, Yangon, lean out of the windows of their houses during the evening curfew and make noise with pans and pans to protest the takeover of power by the military.
