Beyond these four primary cases, additional instances of real-world violence followed similar online incitements. For instance, on March 6, the Hmine Wai Telegram channel called for “immediate reinforcement to Kani, conduct airstrikes.” That same day, the military council launched over 20 airstrikes on Kani, continuing the attacks on March 7. This has been documented by independent and credible news agencies. News Sources:  BBC Burmese  RFA Burmese  The Irrawaddy DVB Fact Check analyzed these four incidents, supported by substantial evidence and verified through geolocation, to demonstrate a clear and direct connection between online incitements and real-world violence. These cases confirm a direct and complete link between online incitements and on-ground violence. Despite efforts to contact the Telegram channels responsible for incitements to inquire about their reasons for spreading such messages, DVB Fact Check received no responses. Additionally, incitements to violence on Telegram contravene the platform's policies. DVB Fact Check has contacted Telegram twice to inquire about potential actions, but no response has been received. On September 9, The New York Times reported that Telegram has become a platform frequented by criminals, radicals, and terrorists, highlighting the spread of illegal and extremist activities. Groups like Hamas and ISIS have reportedly expanded their presence on Telegram. - 23 -
