    I can’t imagine why you are getting push back. I can tell you are very passionate your position and are on the right side of a complicated issue. The only reason I can think of is your idea hasn’t become mainstream yet and people hate it when they don’t know they should be upset.

    Either way I have no skin in it and I agree that meta is garbage. Thank you for be passionate about something in this dispassionate world.

      I’d imagine is because Myanmars situation is way more complicated than Facebook “undoubtedly caused a genocide”.

    🙄 I guess the years of violence well before hand we their fault too. Imagine trying to tie years off violence and genocide to Facebook.

    It’ll always be Burna to me.

      It will always be … a name that doesn’t exist and has never existed?

      (Hint: BURMA. It’s hard to sound smart when you can’t even get a single fucking name right! Especially the name that “it will always be” for you. Holy fucking shit!)

  That one is actually public record, with

  • Facebook using their influence to set up in the country in a way that made it the dominant form of internet access for the country, enough that a large number of people considered Facebook=internet

  • Facebook getting multiple reputable warnings about what was happening on the platform, what their advertising policies and algorithms were encouraging, and they chose to not act on them and instead continued to profit from it

  • They finally did act after a whole lot of harm was done

  Their direct fault? No. But they sure as fuck share a lot of the blame in pouring gasoline on the fire.
