Facebook's 'dangerous algorithms' turbocharged anti-Rohingya sentiments in Myanmar, leading to atrocities and mass exodus of the ethnic group into Bangladesh, says Amnesty International
Rohingya Muslims were targeted by Myanmar's military rulers in 2017 and driven into neighbouring Bangladesh.
"Many Rohingya tried to report anti-Rohingya content via Facebook's 'report' function" but to no avail, "allowing these hateful narratives to proliferate and reach unprecedented audiences in Myanmar," Amnesty said in its report. After being forced out of their homes in Myanmar in 2017, Rohingya Muslims have been living in sprawling refugee camps in Bangladesh. In the US complaint, filed last December in California, the home state of Facebook and its parent company Meta, refugees are seeking $150 billion in damages.
