snoop1130 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Facebook Must Act On Anti-Rohingya Hate Speech: UN Free Speech Chief By Pravit Rojanaphruk, Senior Staff Writer A Rohingya girl carries a child and rests at the Palangkhali refugee camp on Wednesday in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. Photo: Zakir Hossain Chowdhury / Associated Press BANGKOK — Facebook should police the kind of hate speech and disinformation fanning the flames of conflict in Myanmar, the UN’s special rapporteur on free expression said. At a time when Facebook and other internet giants are facing calls to police their content against fake news and hate speech, David Kaye said in an interview Wednesday that Myanmar’s dominant social media platform should dedicate resources to prevent it from being used to incite violence.

connda Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 The Free Speech Chief has discovered that you can stifle 'free-speech' by labelling any argument that is counter to the narrative you wish to promote as 'hate speech.' The issues in Rakhine are complicated. The pop narrative is simplistic. Simplistic narratives are easy to consume, but then to leave out the details that affect all sides of an issue. The UN chief has basically said that all other facts that don't support the simplistic narrative are 'hate speech' that needs to be censored. Sorry, but that is the antithesis of 'free speech.'

BS. It's all over the news. Just overshadowed by a variety of other events going on around the world. You guys condemning the Rohingya for this have obviously not read up on it. For your education. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-myanmar-rohingya/at-least-71-killed-in-myanmar-as-rohingya-insurgents-stage-major-attack-idUSKCN1B507K Quote Muslim militants in Myanmar staged a coordinated attack on 30 police posts and an army base in Rakhine state on Friday, and at least 59 of the insurgents and 12 members of the security forces were killed, the army and government said. The militants also used sticks and swords and destroyed bridges with explosives, the army said. They used swords and sticks and home made bombs. And now 500,000 are displaced. A bit excessive by the Myanmar army. IMHO. Especially considering a majority are women, children and elderly. Some of you guys are really heartless.

LammyTS1 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 It's a difficult situation for Bangladesh. If they accept the Rohingyas, will this result in terrorist attacks upon their people, similar to what's taking place in Myanmar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
