Australian live streaming platform Kick has removed seven TV channels linked to Myanmar’s military regime, less than 24 hours after they began broadcasting on the platform.

Justice For Myanmar said the channels—MRTV HD, MITV, MRTV News, MRTV Farmers, MRTV Sports, MRTV NRC, and MRTV Entertainment—were taken down within hours of going live.

The military regime’s channels had moved to Kick last week after being removed from the Amazon-owned platform Twitch.

MRTV and MITV, operated by the junta-controlled Ministry of Information, broadcast to Burmese and international audiences, respectively. The military regime had used Kick to stream live from the MRTV website and app. According to Justice For Myanmar, the platform’s removal limits the regime’s ability to spread propaganda, misinformation, and hate speech.

The group is urging all technology companies to remove accounts that promote military propaganda and to ban the use of their platforms for such content.

Since the 2021 coup, junta propaganda has been removed from Facebook and YouTube and is now mainly broadcast through a Russian-based Telegram channel.
