I’m not saying the outcome will be the same but this is almost word-for-word what went viral on FB in Myanmar and Sri Lanka just before the incitement turned to massive real-world violence. In both cases Facebook did nothing even as innocent people were dying. https://twitter.com/kevinroose/status/1306366065929191424

To be clear, Facebook’s inaction in Myanmar and Sri Lanka wasn’t because they didn’t know. Human rights monitors were flying to Menlo Park and cornering FB officials at conferences to plead with them to do something, anything. They knew every step of the way.

The Facebook exec in charge of the news feed during both rounds of violence got a big promotion afterwards
