👏🏽 Australian tech biz Kick removed Myanmar junta propaganda accounts, hours after they began livestreaming.

The junta moved to Kick after they had their accounts removed from the Amazon-owned platform Twitch. They are now, again, without a livestream platform, days before their sham election.

Last night, I joined the panel organized by Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand.

I shared some key lesson learned from Myanmar's post 2010 "democratic transition" period how the international community shifted their policy towards Myanmar - human rights first to business first approach.

🚨ASEAN’s silence has enabled junta’s violence.

As incoming ASEAN chair, the Philippines faces a choice:
Stand with #Myanmar military—or stand with the people of Myanmar.
