Myanmar Internet Project
The Myanmar Internet Project was established in 2022 by a collective of researchers, practitioners and advocates with years of experience tracking developments in the Myanmar digital space.
OUR GOAL
Much has happened over the course of Myanmar’s short history of being online. In just over a decade, the country accumulated many firsts, from the first politically-motivated internet shutdown (2007), to the first genocide incited on social media (2012-2017), to the first digital coup (2021). From a tech optimist success story, embodying the hopes and promises of a digital leapfrog, Myanmar has gone on to become a poster child for digital oppression. The Myanmar Internet Project aims to document the history of the Myanmar Internet – past, present and future – by consolidating and amplifying existing research, with a particular emphasis on making Myanmar perspectives more widely available.
