Abstract: This thesis is based on six-month ethnographic fieldwork in Yangon, Myanmar conducted in the spring of 2018. Through three different perspectives, I aim at an understanding of how Facebook gained and withholds its position as “The Internet” amongst local users in Yangon. What happens when Facebook is used as the internet, and how does this affect my informants, and how do they interpret it?
