While Myanmar no longer has a restricted internet enforced via firewall that's a relatively recent development, only having changed in 2011. There isn't official state censorship at this point in time, however there is still a large degree of self-censorship occurring due to concerns over being jailed or otherwise penalized for voicing a dissident opinion online. Freedom House has a more comprehensive report on the state of internet there available here https://freedomhouse.org/report/freedom-net/2017/myanmar https://freedomhouse.org/report/freedom-net/2017/myanmar
The current state of affairs is such that only those voices that conform to the government's official narrative will be heard and promoted while those that do exercise critical thought can't verbalize it online without fear of violence and intimidation.
