UN blames Facebook for spreading hatred against Rohingyas
Calling Facebook a "beast", UN special appointee on human rights in Myanmar, Yanghee Lee, blamed the social media platform for spreading hate speech against the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar. "Ultra-nationalist Buddhists have their own Facebooks and are inciting violence," Lee said. Nearly 7 lakh Rohingya Muslims fled to Bangladesh following a crackdown by Myanmar security forces in August 2017.
