The army seized power this month after alleging fraud in a Nov. 8 election swept by Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy , detaining her and much of the party leadership.The U.S tech giant said it would also ban all “Tatmadaw-linked commercial entities” from advertising on its platforms. Facebook said the ban covered the military and its sub-units, army controlled-media and the ministries of home affairs, defence and border affairs, which are under direct military control.Facebook is widely used in Myanmar and has been one of the ways the junta has communicated with people, despite an official move to ban on the platform in the early days of the coup.
In 2018, it banned army chief Min Aung Hlaing - now the military ruler - and 19 other senior officers and organisations, and took down hundreds of pages and accounts run by military members for coordinated inauthentic behaviour.

That is not nice. Facebook should not take sides in politics. Facebook should share both sides of the story!
This is a good move. The UN now should step in and heed Myanmar's people call. The military gov't cannot act in such a way. They should respect civilian gov't.
