Myanmar Groups Go After Zuckerberg Over Hate Speech On Facebook

Description

Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook have been criticised by Myanmar organisations amid a suspected genocide in the country. The Facebook CEO has been accused of not doing enough to crack down on hate speech and direct incitements to violence in Myanmar. Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Muslims have had to flee their homes. The UN has previously said Facebook has "substantively contributed to the level of acrimony and dissension and conflict." Civil society groups in Myanmar have written a open letter to Mark Zuckerberg criticising Facebook's response to the spread of hate speech that incites violence amid the suspected genocide of Rohingya Muslims in the country, calling the social network's response "inadequate."
