Daily Beast: Facebook Silences Rohingya Reports of Ethnic Cleansing

Facebook has been so shady and unethical with their handling of violence and graphic media. They don't care if Facebook becomes a haven for hate groups, but report on violence and ethnic cleansing and they just might have to ban you.

Was I really the only person with a story about this in their FB news feed all day? It was literally a picture of a woman holding a dead infant.

The fact that people gave Facebook all that power in the first place is baffling.
Like, it's just a website - there are millions of other websites.

It has 2 billion monthly users. If you want to get the world's attention, that's the best way to do it.

For context, about 3.5 billion people have access to the internet in some form.

There are simply way too many users for Facebook to keep up so they over rely on people reporting "bad" posts and shitty algorithms. Posts shouldn't be removed until they are reviewed by actual people who actually know what they're doing.
