Rohingya refugees sue Facebook for $150 billion over Myanmar violence

Dec 6 (Reuters) - Rohingya refugees from Myanmar are suing Meta Platforms Inc (FB.O), formerly known as Facebook, for $150 billion over allegations that the social media company did not take action against anti-Rohingya hate speech that contributed to violence.

A U.S. class-action complaint, filed in California on Monday by law firms Edelson PC and Fields PLLC, argues that the company's failures to police content and its platform's design contributed to real-world violence faced by the Rohingya community. In a coordinated action, British lawyers also submitted a letter of notice to Facebook's London office.

Until the courts has decided on the matter whether the American conpany Facebook and its American owners are guilty of genocide, crimes against humanity — the US should be boycotted from the Olympic Games.

I hope they win and bankrupt Meta. Facebook is a cancerous growth on society.

Their platform surely helps and contributes to violence, hate speech and genocide.

I would say it is THE platform for hate speech and genocide.

It's probably twice as likely that she'll be 1st lady. Either Jared's or Donald's. ;o)

That would be awkward. I don't really see Jarod as a Potus willing to push no taxation without representation in the Knesset.

That's a no-win. Cuckerberg, or give-them-an-inch Islamic advocacy groups?

Fuck em both.

It really is astounding that people think that Facebook should be actively moderating every last post made by its billion+ users, or that Facebook is competent to be a final authority on issues such as determinations of fact or morality.

Sue the fucking Myanmar government if you have a problem with them, but leave Facebook alone.

"It really is astounding that people think that Facebook should be actively moderating every last post made by its billion+ users ..."

It's really not that complicated. The same posts or slight variations are spammed by the same accounts over and over again, and those accounts tend to be networked. Social media companies to take care of the outright garbage with little effort ... but the garbage drives engagement, and they are in it to make the most money possible.

Murder, I get that.No one wants FB to be 4 Chan.

But who should be in charge of that?

Im reluctant of handing that much power to a handfull of billionaires.

We regulate traditional media, why not this?

Rockefeller and Herst once did as well. Until we thought that was too great of a concentration of power.

For starters I think cross platform messaging should be allowed, enshrined in law.

If I can message you from a hotmail to a Yahoo than why cant I message you from Facebook to MySpace?

And the ability to switch contacts.

Next, signing into things with should be looked at as well as apps that are basically forced on people through legacy deals.

These sorts of things hinder new competition.

Plus too much intermingling with the big tech companies.How frequently will they make the same policy changes at the same time.Clear collusion.

People of the same trade rarely meet together, not even for merriment and diversion.But when they do, the outcome is the same, a conspiracy against against the public.

Ive also pushed for a French style internet set up where companies like Verizon must share their cables but be compensated.

Remember in the 90s there were like a million ISP's? Now we have a handfull.

Why is the debate even about Facebook?

If it weren't a platform, this would be a debate? Talking shit about Rohingya online means you should be held accountable for others killing Rohingya? Lol

Muslims are so fragile

And how exactly would you avoid using oil?
