"While Facebook policy disallows hate speech, Facebook?s overwhelming popularity in politically turbulent Myanmar means the platform is widely abused to disseminate hate speech and fake news— particularly anti-Muslim and anti-Rohingya sentiment—with disastrous consequences. The UN describes the mass exodus of over 700,000 Rohingya from Myanmar as a ?textbook example of ethnic cleansing” and recently determined that top military officials be prosecuted for committing genocide, referencing the role of Facebook in propagating hatred towards the vulnerable group. A recent Reuters investigation found more than 1,000 examples of posts, comments and pornographic images attacking the Rohingya and other Muslims that had for years evaded the platform?s content monitoring and remained on Facebook in Burmese language. Facebook has been both reluctant and, more recently, incapable of addressing the platform?s role as a medium for inciting violence in Myanmar. While the company is eager to enter new developing markets for profit, its systems are not equipped to handle complex language translation, to understand localised political knowledge, or to account for abysmal levels of media literacy in these locations. For example, Facebook?s auto-translation system has problems translating Burmese, providing bizarre results; one post referenced in the Reuters investigation was translated from Burmese saying ?Kill all the kalars that you see in Myanmar; none of them should be left alive” into English as ?I shouldn?t have a rainbow in Myanmar.” Facebook subsequently disabled the Burmese auto-translation feature for ordinary Facebook users after the Reuters investigation was published..."
