Facebook analyst on hate speech spike in Burma during Rohingya crisis "I don't know how Zuckerberg sleeps at night."

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/03/revealed-facebook-hate-speech-exploded-in-myanmar-during-rohingya-crisis I knew it--even the 3 years I was on FB to Sept 2016, I saw that even educated Rangoon people swallowed junta propaganda hook line and sinker. Thanksgiving 2014 my friend called her relative in Burma via Skype, her relative said, "Muslims are marching to Rangoon, the army had to be called out." FYI, in 1980s, another friend in USA bad mouthed Burmese education on phone, "They are teaching Wuthering Heights!" and the call was cut off. Ever wonder how these hate groups and so-called "Buddhist" groups can operate without junta shutting them down in country where even a hiking association was stopped, abstract art censored carefully for hidden images & messages. On FB there were a large number of fake names and accounts. I'm glad I deleted my account.
