Yangon: Myanmar has blocked Facebook and other social media platforms on Thursday following orders of military government until February 07, to maintain stability in growing resistance to the military coup.
As per details, network monitoring group and Internet providers in Myanmar including state-owned telecom MPT were blocking access to Facebook-owned services in the country, days after military leaders seized power in a coup.
Facebook spokesman Andy Stone said, “We urge authorities to restore connectivity so that people in Myanmar can communicate with their families and friends and access important information".
A letter posted online by the Ministry of Communications and Information overnight said Facebook would be blocked until Feb. 7 for the sake of “stability.”
“Currently the people who are troubling the country’s stability ... are spreading fake news and misinformation and causing misunderstanding among people by using Facebook,” the Ministry letter said.
Earlier this week, Myanmar leader and Nobel laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi and other political leaders were arrested in the early hours of Monday after her government was toppled by the military.
