De nuevo ha sido Internet el soporte que ha llevado al resto del mundo los sucesos, dia a dia, en Myanmar.
Lo cuenta, entre otros, Bill Toddler en Pajamas Media (Monks and Bloggers):
In the past totalitarian governments have controlled and restricted the media. But today they now face the problem of every citizen potentially being the press. This unfortunately won’t stop the bloodshed, but it makes it impossible to deny, and the world is no longer able to turn a blind eye to such events. This may very well influence the outcome.
Y también, por ejemplo, Techonology Review del MIT (Huge Facebook group shows role of Internet in backing Myanmar protesters):
An Internet group backing the monk-led protests in Myanmar has attracted more than 100,000 members in less than 10 days as Internet users around the world try to harness the power of the Web to support the protest movement.
The Internet has been a key battleground in the wave of protests that erupted a month ago against Myanmar's repressive regime. Authorities have cut off the country's two Internet service providers in a bid to stop accounts and images of the protests, and the military crackdown, reaching the outside world.
