Pretty Good Podcast Live at DRAPAC23 is a special episode series of Pretty Good Podcast, recorded live at the Digital Rights Asia Pacific Assembly in Chiang Mai, Thailand, last May 22 to 26, 2023.

Together with hundreds of changemakers from a broad range of sectors who have come together to build knowledge, collaboration, and momentum on Digital Rights and the Asia-Pacific, this series features a number of DRAPAC23 participants working across pressing digital rights issues in the region.

 


In this episode of PGP Live at DRAPAC23, Bradley (not his real name), a social technology researcher, discusses the alternative communication methods used in Myanmar in response to the internet shutdowns and destroyed infrastructure following the February 2021 coup. 

 
Zeroing in on digital safety and security, Bradley highlights the challenges faced by the people of Myanmar and emphasises the need for viable alternatives. He also talks about why digital rights activists, civil society organisations, communications companies, and technologists should collaborate to advance safe access and innovative approaches to communication in the country.
