Myanmar's Suu Kyi says she's too busy for Facebook
June 01, 2012

Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi is bullish on democratic reform, but she's not so sure about Facebook. The Nobel Peace Prize winner, who was held under house arrest as a political prisoner for much of the past 22 years
without even a telephone, was asked today at the World Economic Forum on East Asia when she would join the 900-million member social network.


She said it was not an issue with adjusting to new technology, but a matter of finding the time. She said she will join when her schedule opens up. "Mind you, you never know what will happen with the technological revolution," she said at a news conference. "Facebook may be old hat tomorrow. In that case, I won't go on Facebook."
