Facebook bans Myanmar military-linked companies from its platforms – the Diplomat

December 9, 2021 Campaign News

Facebook announced yesterday that it would ban all Myanmar-military controlled businesses from its platforms, the latest in a series of restrictions aimed at the Myanmar armed forces.

The Diplomat quotes Mark Farmaner, Director of Burma Campaign UK, who said Facebook had “resisted significant pressure to take down military companies’ pages” since before the February coup. “Facebook have known for years these military companies finance human rights violations. Now, within hours of legal cases being filed regarding their role in the genocide of the Rohingya, Facebook decide to take down military company pages.”
