Facebook sued for alleged role in stoking violence against Rohingya – Radio Free Asia

December 8, 2021 Campaign News

A lawsuit filed against Facebook seeks a minimum of U.S. $150 billion in damages for the social media company’s alleged role in stoking violence against ethnic Rohingyas in Myanmar, reports Radio Free Asia.

The lawsuit claims that Facebook created a “defective product” because its ranking algorithm helped to propagate violence against the Rohingya. It also alleges that Facebook was negligent in filtering out content deemed dangerous to the ethnic group.
