Facebook has assembled a team aimed at preventing genocide in war - torn Myanmar after the social media site was used to spread anti - Rohingya propaganda in Myanmar . If Facebook shut down accounts linked to an authoritarian government, it might interfere with unrelated government services. Named Strategic Response and headed by Rosa Birch , it includes former diplomats , human rights researchers , a former military intelligence officer and an ex - geopoliticial risk adviser to BP . Backed by Senator Sheryl Sandberg , it will identify and implement changes to Facebook products , and is working on a tool to help non - governmental organisations remove " problematic " content . Critics say the team is not big enough to tackle the problem and needs to have offices around the world .
