You’ve read the headlines about Myanmar, but have you heard for instance, what the parallels are between the US events of Jan 6th and Myanmar’s current military coup?  What was the internet's role in the military’s oppression of civilians?  And how the law has played into, and been contorted by, Myanmar’s junta?
