Pressure is mounting. Most anti-coup citizens have switched from Messenger and WhatsApp to the encrypted messaging applications Signal and Telegram because they are deemed safer than Meta. Groups such as Justice for Myanmar and Burma Campaign UK have been lobbying the US company to effectively ban pro-military accounts and kick Burmese military companies off of Facebook. On December 7th, 2021, Meta finally stated that it will "remove Pages, Groups and accounts representing military-controlled businesses". In view of the damage done, the move is belated and hundreds of pro-military propaganda pages still remain active. Activists insist that the ban must be comprehensive and applied to all military joint ventures to cut their advertisement revenues and their influence. 9
