In 2025, Justice For Myanmar, an organization working to expose the military, reported that Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, and MediaFire removed several pro-military channels and accounts after it sent letters to the platforms254. According to the organization, Twitch, owned by Amazon, took down accounts that were livestreaming Myanmar Radio and Television (MRTV) and Myanmar Radio channels on its website and mobile apps available in the Google and Apple app stores. Additionally, Twitch reportedly removed the Myanmar International TV (MITV) livestream embedded on the MITV website. All these channels—MITV, MRTV, and Myanmar Radio—are operated by the military’s Ministry of Information. Facebook reportedly removed the pages of MITV and the Yadanabon Newspaper, which is linked to the pro-junta Myawaddy Newspaper. Yadanabon’s MediaFire account, where it stored some newspaper files shared on social media, was reportedly removed as well. Justice For Myanmar further reported that YouTube refused to delete the MITV account but did remove an account belonging to the Ministry of Information. In terms of surveillance, Justice For Myanmar revealed in September 2025 that Geedge Network, a Chinese company linked to the Chinese government, has helped the military expand its monitoring capabilities255. According to the report, the company’s technology enables tracking of network traffic at the individual level and can identify the geographic location of mobile subscribers in real time by linking users’ activity to specific cell identifiers. The technology allegedly gives the junta access to the online activities of 33.4 million internet users in the country. The report followed Justice For Myanmar’s 2024 findings that the junta had adopted a new surveillance and censorship system, implemented by Geedge Network, starting in late May 2024, to tighten control of the internet256. According to the 2024 report, the system uses Tiangou Secure Gateway (TSG) and Cyber Narrator. TSG is an internet surveillance and censorship product that can analyze users’ online behavior, while Cyber Narrator is a network intelligence platform designed to monitor and analyze internet traffic, including flagging the use of VPNs. “Twitch, Facebook, YouTube, and MediaFire Removed Myanmar Junta Propaganda Accounts.” Justice For Myanmar, 18 Dec. 2025, www.justiceformyanmar.org/press-releases/twitch-facebookyoutube-and-mediafire-removed-myanmar-junta-propaganda-accounts. 255. “Report Reveals How China’s Geedge Networks and Myanmar Telecoms Companies Are Enabling the Illegal Junta’s Digital Terror Campaign.” Justice For Myanmar, 9 Sep. 2025, www.justiceformyanmar.org/ press-releases/report-reveals-how-chinas-geedge-networks-and-myanmar-telecoms-companiesare-enabling-the-illegal-juntas-digital-terror-campaign. 256. “The Myanmar Junta’s Partners in Digital Surveillance and Censorship.” Justice For Myanmar, 19 June 2024, www.justiceformyanmar.org/stories/the-myanmar-juntas-partners-in-digital-surveillance-andcensorship. 254. 58
