Myanmar Shuts Down Facebook, Twitter Amid Coup Protests

The video discusses the blocking of social media platforms in Myanmar following a coup, focusing on the significant impact of Facebook's shutdown. With over 20 million users, Facebook is crucial for communication and news in Myanmar. Residents have adapted by using other platforms like Twitter and Telegram, often accessing them through VPNs. The military government is unlikely to completely shut down the internet due to its own reliance on it. Facebook has taken steps to remove content that delegitimizes the election and supports the coup, which contrasts with the military's interests.
