      So all ya FB haters who apparently I follow here on the Twitter, legitimately and honestly: Can you help me understand why you hate FB so much? What am I missing? (If you can, please provide references to big claims :–)

      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.

      This is arguing semantics in the shadow of a genocide. Simple thought exercise: imagine Myanmar today has Facebook not existed. Here is some reading on the platforms’ responsibility for curation and amplification of content: https://www.fastcompany.com/40454680/the-myth-of-the-neutral-silicon-valley-platform-is-crumbling …

      "imagine Myanmar today has Facebook not existed" It’s hard to say what cause the change that led to the 2015 elections. In 1990 the "National League for Democracy” won by vote but were denied victory. In 2015 they again won and took seat. Who knows, but maybe The Internet ...

      ... played a role in allowing that party to get in control. Facebook is a pretty big part of the Internet when it comes to sharing of information (e.g. Egyptial revolution of 2010).

      This was nine years ago, however. It’s becoming increasingly harder to find feel-good Facebook stories, and (terrifyingly) increasingly easier to find the opposite. Ans we didn’t even cover Cambridge Analytica... https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/policy-and-politics/2018/3/23/17151916/facebook-cambridge-analytica-trump-diagram …

          Mostly because that's what the media focuses on. It's a bit like watching local news that give one an impression that one is risking their life if they leave their house to get milk.
