Yeah, I read this. Clearly FB didn’t actually cause the violence in Myanmar but its platform was exploited by people who did. It’s a tricky headline to that article where if you miss the word “used” you may think FB actually actively played a bad role (it was merely the stage.)

Yup. What I hear is that FB has preventive measures (actions, people, technology, rules) but felt they didn’t do enough. I think it’s a very different thing that (as some ppl imply) actively causing harm or inciting violence.
