So, it turns out that in Burma, content that promotes hatred and genocide against the Rohingya minority really engages Facebook users and keeps them on the site consuming advertising and boosting Facebook’s profits.  The implication of this article is that Facebook’s algorithms are promoting and pushing this content in Burmese news feeds:

Does that make Facebook complicit in the Burmese genocide?

Does the fact that Facebook uses robots (i.e. algorithms) to profit from the slaughter of innocents make Facebook less complicit?

Does it make us complicit if we continue to use Facebook?
