Up to six months in prison and fines of up to 2 million kyats (almost $1,000). This is what people in Myanmar now risk for using a VPN service without approval after a new controversial cybersecurity law was enacted on Wednesday, January 1, 2025.

According to the military junta, the new law aims to “prevent cyberattacks through electronic technology that threatens national sovereignty, peace, and stability, as well as to effectively investigate and bring charges against cybercrimes,” as reported by Radio Free Asia.
