The OP probably was replying to the fact that larger nations are able and willing to lean on service providers to extract personal information and deanonymize private conversation. This is a normal mode of analysis for citizens trying to secure their conversations from the US government, for example.

The Burmeses government however is not likely to be able to perform something like this, especially if the authors are not in Myanmar. In fact, there's a reasonable chance that the authors of the software are CSOs sponsored by other governments that would like to see changes in the regime in Myanmar (like the CIA's ZunZuneo app in Cuba) - in this case it is not likely that the government there will be able to play effective whack-a-mole.

The danger here is that the government will ban phones or create some sort of licensing for them if this becomes a large enough civil unrest problem. But it's equally likely that other countries would then raise sanctions and human rights violations against the regime on account of principles of 'freedom'.
