Why are most people in this thread acting like people at Facebook care about hate speech and merely failed to prevent hate speech in this instance? What makes you think that tech companies / their employees care about this at all? You can go on any social media site right now and write hate speech against Russians - literally calling for the death of specific Russian individuals - and you will not be censored. That's because hate speech rules never were about preventing hate speech in general, they always were about selective enforcement where those in power can protect their preferred in-groups, while leaving out-groups outside of any protections. In this case, "Rohingya" were not a part of western tech circles' in-group, so nobody in power cares about their genocide.
