I'm trying to understand: you would prefer that Facebook be complicit and turning a profit on genocide than not taking part?

- perihelions 4y agoI don't understand the ground truth well enough to say, and I'm not going to be flippant in guessing. It *does* look double-edged to me: if you pull Western social media out of places like Myanmar, their replacements could be more destructive things. Their reliance on Western social media, for now, gives the West additional influence and levers in that country. I do agree Meta is using that influence badly, that their algorithms seem to be amplifying calls to violence rather than countering them.
