Abstract: Cyberspace has played a major role in the prolonged Myanmar internal conflict. Especially hate speech on Facebook which is analysed here in the form of a case study and which has been carried out by Buddhist radicals and the Burmese military (Tatmadaw) since 2008. The paper focuses on both structuralist and actor-oriented prisms analysing the 2008 Constitution, that gives vast powers to the hands of Tatmadaw, as well as the online conduct of major relevant public figures.
