“Facebook’s dangerous algorithms actively fanned the flames of hate and contributed to mass violence as well as the forced displacement of over half the Rohingya population of Myanmar into neighbouring Bangladesh. It is high time Meta faced its responsibilities by paying reparations to the Rohingya and by fixing its business model to prevent this from happening again.”
Gli algoritmi di Facebook e la spietata ricerca del profitto di Meta hanno creato una cassa di risonanza che ha contribuito a fomentare l’odio contro il popolo Rohingya e ha contribuito a creare le condizioni che hanno costretto il gruppo etnico a fuggire in massa dal Myanmar."

The entire city of #Yellowknife is being evacuated. This is unprecedented and terrifying.
And thousands of citizens aren’t aware because Meta continues to block news in the country.
This is what happens when citizens are convinced to use an American multinational corporation as their community’s primary communications channel — a corporation that couldn’t give two shits about anything except its “fiduciary duty” to shareholders.
@tod#Meta absolutely wants anyone in #YellowKnife who relies on #Facebook or #Instagram for news to burn to death. If they didn't stop the #Rohingya#Genocide actively organized on their platforms, why would they help the average Canadian citizen?
Powerful people imprisoned by the cluelessness of their own isolation, locked up with their own motivated reasoning: "It's impossible to get a CEO to understand something when his quarterly earnings call depends on him not understanding it."
