Facebook has expanded its ban on postings linked to Myanmar’s military to include all pages, groups, and accounts representing military-controlled businesses, reports the Seattle Times.
Burma Campaign UK welcomed the move but said Facebook had resisted taking down military companies’ pages.
“The belated decision to remove military company pages appears more an act of desperation after being sued for $150 billion for being involved in Rohingya genocide than any genuine concern for human rights,” Burma Campaign UK’s director, Mark Farmaner, said in a statement. Facebook remains on BCUK’s Dirty List.
