Facebook touts beefed up hate speech detection ahead of Myanmar election

[Disir]

Facebook has offered a little detail on extra steps it’s taking to improve its ability to detect and remove hate speech and election disinformation ahead of Myanmar’s election. A general election is scheduled to take place in the country on November 8, 2020.

The announcement comes close to two years after the company admitted a catastrophic failure to prevent its platform from being weaponized to foment division and incite violence against the country’s Rohingya minority.

Facebook says now that it has expanded its misinformation policy with the aim of combating voter suppression and will now remove information “that could lead to voter suppression or damage the integrity of the electoral process” — giving the example of a post that falsely claims a candidate is a Bengali, not a Myanmar citizen, and thus ineligible to stand.

All of this because FaceBook doesn't want to hand over documents to The Gambia. You gotta love the complete indifference to genocide.

It makes no sense to me. Genocide is genocide

I worry about what will happen when the Holocaust is gone from living memory. Already there are troubling signs and rhetoric in the "civilized" world.
