@kissane Meta is a terrible company for their greedy manipulative practices. But Facebook also facilitates online communication between 3 billion MAUs. Some of them are terrible people. Holding FB responsible for their actions that were also communicated via Facebook is kinda attacking the messenger. Are ISPs and DNS services also responsible for transmitting hate speech in Myanmar? Is Meta supposed to police a failed state's communication, where the government and military commit genocide?

@kolya The facts of the situation are quite a bit worse than that (or any short) summary implies.

I published 40k words breaking it all down from a whole lot of angles this fall, so if you want to know my exact positions and the research behind them, it’s pretty easy to find, but I’m generally in agreement with Amnesty and the UN HRC’s independent fact-finding mission to Myanmar.
