Is #Myanmar military using @Telenor_mm to spy on activists? In a @bistandsaktuelt investigation, Telenor refused to answer questions on whether the military has access to user data. See the story in Norwegian 👉 ow.ly/NOLQ50DzRqn 1/ #CivilDisobedienceMovement #keepiton #CDN

.@TelenorGroup refused to answer questions on whether the company will even disclose if they receive a directive or a request from #Myanmar authorities for access to user data. This puts #CivilDisobedienceMovement activists + journalists at risk, whose lives are on the line 2/

B4 #MyanmarCoup in Dec, #Telenor disclosed "the gov intends to be able to directly access each operator and ISP’s systems w/o case-by-case approval." They warned of "misuse & breach of customers’ human rights". Why are they not being transparent now? 👉ow.ly/jHiP50DzRE4 3/

An @OpenTechFund report found budgeted items for an "interception system" for voice calls + data, incl for Telenor. If this is operational, it would give the illegitimate military regime direct access to users for surveillance, abuse + repression: ow.ly/KTkz50DzRKJ #CDM 4/

#Telenor + @ooredoo_mm are the only remaining non-military mobile networks in #Myanmar. They must stand with the people, who r resisting the brutal and corrupt military regime. Protect user data from military surveillance. Stand up to the Cyber Law. Our lives depend on it! 5/

As #Myanmar endures 2nd night internet shutdown, @TelenorGroup released a strong statement of principles + state "Myanmar's Cyber Security Bill shouldn't be passed as proposed".👏

#Telenor concerns incl #HumanRights, lack of due process, lack of transparency + broad scope 👏👇
