    This is important and urgent. There will soon be elections in Sri Lanka and @Facebook is yet to roll out the necessary ad oversight tools (that it has for other countries). They don't even bother to respond to the repeated pleas from civic organizations. https://www.cpalanka.org/letter-to-facebook-urgent-need-for-rollout-of-platform-affordances-for-greater-oversight-of-campaign-spending/ …pic.twitter.com/mrlV5EFZue

        So a Sri Lankan NGO released the open letter above, trying to get @Facebook to do what is actually the bare minimum, even thought it's already late. Constant problem. Facebook has 2.5 billion users, but it ignores many countries: paying attention to issues in a few rich ones.

        Sri Lankans have no less rights to transparency and accountability from what @CPASL calls "the single-most important platform for political communications on social media in Sri Lanka." Think of our complaints of FB's slow response. Imagine how it plays out in poorer countries.🤬

        zeynep tufekci Retweeted Dr. Sanjana Hattotuwa

        Thread on this important issue, and why it's so crucial to understand Facebook like the global platform it is. Both conceptualization of fixes and regulation *and* FB's attention are focused on few rich countries—at the expense of countries like Sri Lanka.https://twitter.com/sanjanah/status/1192391233626234880 …

        How is FB even remotely responsible if Sri Lankans fail to take responsibility?

        @TheStranger's Eli Sanders has some great coverage of Washington's ban on FB and Google political ads. If only he could be cloned in Sri Lanka.

        Facebook has been ghosting a lot of countries like mine. Unreachable and uninterested in helping at all. This year we had elections and many like me are still waiting for any kind of answer.
