Facebook blocked following the February 2021 coup

DRAFT — needs an editor rewrite. Distinct from the broader nationwide connectivity cut on Feb 6 (see 2021-02-nationwide-connectivity-cut) — this is specifically the Facebook platform block, officially dated by the junta's own letter (per CPJ) as running Feb 3 to Feb 7. Whether service was actually restored on schedule on Feb 7 is not confirmed by any source in our current archive — the "until February 7" framing is the government's own announced intent, not an independently verified restoration date. Flag this distinction for an editor rather than presenting Feb 7 as a confirmed end.

Resolution note: Maintainer research (internal research notes, 2026-07): reclassified from ended/date_end=2021-02-07 to unresolved. No independent source confirms Facebook access was actually restored on Feb 7 as the junta's letter announced. BBC (Feb 3, 2021) reports Facebook was "still reported to be accessible sporadically" then "stopped working completely" hours later — already unstable before the announced Feb 7 date, not a clean scheduled cutoff. ARTICLE 19's 2022 retrospective repeats the "until Feb 7" order without documenting a restoration on that date either; instead the block became part of a broader, longer-running platform-blocking campaign. No date_end set — even Feb 7 itself isn't evidenced as an actual restoration, only as the government's announced intent, so it would be misleading to encode it as an estimated end date the way the nationwide-cut and nightly-curfew events use their own (source-derived, not announcement-derived) proxy dates.
