Benedict-Mette Starke on digital conduct concerning Myanmar

In two posts on the blog „Tea Circle. A Forum for New Perspectives on Burma/Myanmar”, Benedict Mette-Starke describes the risks the coup poses for activists using digital media. While those media can be used to keep in touch, using them entails risks at the same time. He draws on a Myanmar language risk mitigation guide to draw out those risks and the digital security measures to counter them. Benedict Mette-Starke argues in what way those risks also affect people outside Myanmar but concerned with it. In the second blog post he gives practical advice for Myanmar scholars and others outside the country. He suggests everyday digital security practices.
