Myanmar’s new military government blocked access to Facebook as resistance to Monday’s coup surged amid calls for civil disobedience to protest the ousting of the elected civilian government and its leader, Aung San Suu Kyi.
Facebook is especially popular in Myanmar and the ousted government had commonly made public announcements on the social media site.
Internet users said that the disruption began late on Wednesday, and mobile service provider Telenor Myanmar confirmed in a statement that mobile operators and Internet service providers in Myanmar had received a directive from the Burmese Ministry of Transport and Communications to temporarily block Facebook.
