Date Published: Dec 17, 2024

Abstract: In August, a total of 2,307 posts and 200 messages were collected from 207 Facebook pages and 24 Telegram channels. Overall, the trend of the message has not changed compared to the last seven months. The main messages posted by key political actors still primarily focus on the support of military means or the use of violence to resolve the current political conflicts. These messages jus- tified the use of military means or violence in response to the post-coup political conflicts and called for support of violent measures to end the ongoing conflicts. Another common type of message was the citizens’ mobilization, urging support for activities or campaigns, particularly those against the Myanmar military such as the Key project, Tampon Campaign, and Way Back Home campaign, etc. We have also noticed a trend promoting social division and hate speech against those with different views or stances during our observation. Important messages that contributed to long-term goals, such as federalism and political solutions, and promoted societal values such as equality, diversity, inclusion, and social cohesion, were less common.
