NeBlocks metrics indicate that all language editions, as well as associated websites including Wikidata and the Wikimedia Foundation’s corporate presence are restricted on most of the country’s major network providers. The restrictions are targeted and are distinct from general outages and disruptions tracked during the reporting period. While no basis has been supplied by authorities, the restriction of Wikipedia comes as the military government outlaws the use of certain words in reference to the coup d’état and opposition movement. At the time of writing there are also indications of an “edit war” on the Wikipedia article for military ruler General Min Aung Hlaing in relation to his title and career.
