No, that’s a lie. The local junta used Facebook like they would have used any convenient mode of communication. Facebook wasn’t able to detect it because of a complex issue involving automated translation of non-Ascii languages. They were concerning reports and the relevant team reached out to their contact in the country, the wife of a senior executive and _a Nobel prize recipient_ who both personally denied that anything wrong was happening. The company scrambled to get more context but didn’t have translators willing to tell them the truth because… well there’s an uncomfortable correlation between people speaking Burmese and people who thing Rohingya deserve respect. As soon as the reality was clear, the company acknowledged that they made a mistake in trusting local authorities, not investing more in non-standard software tools and piled on their investment on detecting such project. You can compare that to how much Toyota cares about their logo being at the back on the technical on every photo featuring genocidal warlords and terrorist groups.
