Today, Facebook said it has banned 20 individuals and organizations in Myanmar, including Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, the country's top military chief. The social media company took down the page of the military’s Myawady television network as well. The ban was also imposed on 18 Facebook accounts, one Instagram account, and 52 pages, which command nearly 12 million followers.
Facebook, however, pointed out that it is keeping the data on those removed pages and accounts. The goal of the crackdown is to prevent those organizations from further inciting ethnic and religious violence in the country, according to the company. Facebook cited a report by the UN Human Rights Council concluding that those organizations committed human rights abuses in Myanmar.
Additionally, the Menlo Park-based company removed 46 pages and 12 accounts for apparently using "independent news and opinion pages to covertly push the messages of the Myanmar military." The latest move is part of Facebook's broader effort to help curb the proliferation of hate speech, deception, and inauthentic accounts on the social media platform.
