6/13/22, 12:15 PM The Digital Rights Movement in Myanmar is Growing - And EngageMedia Gets to be a Part of It! - EngageMedia platform to discuss issues with different stakeholders. The topics tackled in the MDRF   reflect the current and emerging trends in and threats to digital rights in Myanmar: surveillance, content restrictions, and lawful interception standards; freedom of expression and hate speech; harassment of journalists; policy reform; right to information; national identification; and privacy issues in the current laws. The MDRF was also an opportunity for digital rights movements from across the region to learn from each other — and to encourage the growth of the Myanmar digital rights movement — with sessions that shared experiences around building social movements on policy reform, and looking back on the digital rights movements in India, the Philippines and Myanmar. The MDRF also created a space where the participants could brainstorm what actions to take to address the daunting digital rights issues in Myanmar. On the second day, specifically, the participants formed themselves into groups to discuss specific action ideas and initiatives: Engaging Facebook on Hate Speech Anti- Hate Speech campaign Open data basics and awareness-raising Law review towards policy reform Campaign against the 66(d) arrests Addressing online harassment of women and LGBT Building the capacity of the youth on digital rights https://engagemedia.org/2016/digital-rights-movement-in-myanmar-is-growing-and-engagemedia-gets-to-be-a-part-of-it/ 3/7
