The founder of Facebook Zuckerberg said that what is happening in Myanmar against the Rohingya Muslims because of the hate speech is a terrible tragedy need to do more.
This came during a hearing in the US Congress in response to a question by a US senator to Facebook founder about his company’s failure to address the speech of hatred against Muslims in Myanmar, which caused major crises there.
“What is happening in Myanmar is a terrible tragedy and we need to do more,” Zuckerberg said, adding that the company employs dozens of Burmese content reviewers and removes accounts of hatred.
“This threat went directly through Facebook, and spread very quickly, and it took a lot of time from Facebook to remove this publication,” Senator Patrick Leahy said in a statement.
Facebook faces charges of failing to stop the hate campaign led by Buddhist monks and extremists against Muslims in Myanmar, which has killed thousands and displaced hundreds of thousands more.
