Censorship In Myanmar

Facebook has removed hundreds of pages and accounts in Myanmar with hidden links to the military, the platform today said, as the company scrambles to respond to criticism over failures to control hate speech and misinformation.

Two years after Myanmar scrapped censorship in one of its boldest reforms, its journalists are again living in fear of jail and are convinced a state-sponsored crackdown is under way to limit press freedom.

Myanmar's government said on Monday it would no longer censor local media outlets, the most dramatic move yet toward allowing freedom of expression in the long-repressed nation.
