Today @StateDept formally announced that violence perpetrated by Myanmar’s military against the #Rohingya constitutes genocide and crimes against humanity. This should bring renewed attention to the role of Facebook @meta in fuelling the #Rohingya genocide. 1/6
It has been 5 years of promises from @meta to “do more” and “do better.” So, are they? No. @Global_Witness had 8 ads with explicit hate speech about #Rohingya approved for publication. 👎👎👎AP News: bit.ly/3wpZiD5 2/6
This negligence is unacceptable. I saw this behavior over and over from Facebook - it ultimately led me to become a #whistleblower. @meta chronically underfunds and understaffs the teams responsible for keeping us safe — especially in the most vulnerable places in the world. 3/6
@Meta must be held accountable. That’s why I support the brave Rohingya young people who brought a complaint to Ireland’s @OECD contact in @DeptEnterprise demanding justice and remediation. #Rohingyaremediation #peoplevsbigtech. 4/6
Ireland is the headquarters of many Big Tech platforms in the #EU where global decisions are made. #Irish citizens would never stand for such #humanright abuses committed by companies on their soil. 5/6
Watch this video made by @Avaaz, featuring these young #Rohingya who are looking to #Ireland to ensure @Meta pays #Rohingyareparations. Share it and help this fight for justice. 6/6
