July 2024 – Digital Hate Monthly Report (Eng -Myan)
BHRN has daily documented hate speech terms and usages found in the contents –based on the current political crisis – disseminated by the military.
This report was written after monitoring both online and printed media which Junta and its supporters used to spread their hate speeches. BHRN has monitored 3 Facebook groups, 1 Facebook page, 12 Facebook accounts, 24 Telegram channels, 21 TikTok accounts, and 4 Printed Media during July 2024.
In this report, BHRN has analysed hate speech in the context of the ongoing political tensions in Myanmar. Sometimes, when measured by international standards, what might look like misinformation takes on a different significance in the aftermath of the 2021 coup. This is because misinformation, particularly when aimed at individuals, groups with opposing political beliefs, or minority religious communities, can have severe consequences, even leading to loss of life and the intensification of religious and community conflicts.
