The decline in dissemination Public dissemination of media content through “Shares” has significantly declined, as promoting posts to a wider social circle is more visible to military surveillance. Shares of media posts dropped by -63%, falling from 4.8 million per month pre-coup to 1.8 million in 2026. This decline was not only due to lower reach, but also public behavioural change as the “view-to-share” conversion rate also fell by -28%, dropping from 0.1% pre-coup to 0.08% in 2026.9 This shows a clear chilling effect on the right to impart information, as audiences have increasingly self-censored. The decline of shares was not equal across media. Some outlets bucked this trend, such as the Myanmar Press Photo Agency, which increased shares by +2,041%, and Ayeyarwaddy Times, which increased by +303%. While self-censoring overall, a portion of the public remains willing to risk their personal safety to ensure information reaches the wider community. Military-aligned and State-owned outlets saw the greatest decline in shares of -88% and -85%, respectively. This was far worse than independent media, which saw shares fall by -38%. This divergence reveals a growing public refusal to help disseminate military propaganda. 9 The view-to-share conversion rate shows what proportion of views led to a share. Page 15 of 24
