This move - to censor government officials in a host country, shows that big Tech can and will be weaponized (by the MSM media) against a local government.

  > by the MSM media How exactly is the Main Stream Media media weaponizing big Tech? The Myanmar genocide is not "fake news."

    It is fake news. The Muslims are being expelled not genocided. The term "genocide" has been so watered down by the UN that it now includes hurt feelings.

      The Rohingya genocide occurred in 2016-2017 which killed thousands. Those remainder Rohingyans fled in the hundreds of thousands. Destruction of habitat or forced expulsion is close to genocide itself. We as humans destroy the habitat of animals causing extinction, how is this not the same case? Because the inhabitants have legs and can move elsewhere? What if they choose not to migrate? By the way, the reason they're expelled & fleeing is because the only other choice is death. There's no option to stay other than death and if you think that's not genocide then sure. I know where you stand. Regardless of whether it was expulsion or genocide, atrocities were committed and Facebook was a key factor into the lead up to what occurred: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohingya_genocide#Facebook's_role_in_the_genocide https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohingya_genocide#Facebook's_r...

        No... forced expulsion isn't genocide. A few thousand people killed isn't a genocide. Genocide literally means killing the gene pool. The Rohingyan "genocide" is only a genocide by the UN standard which is so incredibly weak that it includes hurt feelings. Sorry, but the talking heads on the msm are lying to you.

    Not (sure if I'm) on parent's side, but their concern likely isn't the legitimate use case, Myanmar genocide, but the illegitimate, like the suppression of political-or-other dissent in countries where such is or could later become a problem.

  This isn't a few racists shouting slurs, and Myanmar is not an elected local government. It's a military dictatorship bent on genocide.
