“... found that Facebook’s newsfeed played a central role in nearly every step from rumor to killing. Facebook officials, they say, ignored repeated warnings of the potential for violence, resisting pressure to hire moderators or establish emergency points of contact.”https://twitter.com/craigjcalhoun/status/987734528218152965 …

Don’t take “we were blindsided” as an answer. Many people & groups have been pleading with Facebook for years. It’s not that Facebook is 100% responsible for everything. It’s that they’ve been gravely negligent in what they *could* do. At least try.https://twitter.com/jodikantor/status/988024024805625856 …

None of this works in Sri Lanka or India or Myanmar or a large number of countries. It doesn't even work in the United States. What happens at a key player in the information ecology affects *everyone* regardless of what you personally do. https://twitter.com/WillardRe/status/988031403966296069 …

It's not like Myanmar or Sri Lanka was a peaceful EU country and then *boom*. But it's still massively consequential to introduce a mass information conduit that operates the way Facebook does into a place with simmering ethnic tensions. This is playing out in multiple countries.

It’s not like they have hundreds of millions of dollars just sitting there to hire... oh

They don't have that kind of free cashflow sitting there, in those countries and regions. >70% of revenue and likely all FB profit are from <30% of users that are in US, Canada, and EU. Without US and EU legislation requiring it, they will never spend much for safety.

You mean like "Foxx News" or all the other Alt-right publications in the USA that lie everyday and our freedom of speech allow them to do just that.? We must "remove the Mote in your own eye before..." All of the Hanging and other terrorism that occurs in our country...

All what Facebook wanted is money and they don’t know care what happened to society or country. They wanted to attract new users and sell more ads and finally wants to sell all privacy data to third party agents. In near time I gonna say goodbye
