Myanmar's Cybersecurity Law Raises Concerns Over Information Suppression

Credited from: VOANEWS

  • Myanmar's military leaders have implemented a new cybersecurity law that critics claim grants extensive control over information access.
  • The law comprises 16 chapters and 88 articles, regulating the use of VPNs and penalizing users accessing banned sites.
  • Analysts argue that the legislation prioritizes information suppression over public protection, undermining digital freedoms.
  • Penalties include warnings, fines, and suspensions for noncompliance, as well as user data collection requirements for digital platforms.
  • Since the February 2021 coup, internet restrictions have increased, leading to Myanmar's ranking as among the worst countries for digital rights globally.
