LONDON (AP) — Rohingya refugees sued social network powerhouse Facebook for more than $150 billion, accusing it of failing to stop hate speech that incited violence against the Muslim ethnic group by military rulers and their supporters in Myanmar.

Good News - FakeBook maybe getting ready to pay the price for being the lying scumbags that they are.

Sort of odd/ironic that a "Muslim ethnic group" would be the plaintiffs in the case.

There is no such people as the “Rohingya.” It is a complete fraud. These are illegal Bengali migrant invaders into Burma. It is even phonier than the “Palestinian” Arabs. They are also terrorists, responsible for the murders of hundreds of peaceful Buddhist monks, among others.

Exactly right, Montag. These Rohingya are simply the fashionable victims-of-the-month. They aren’t the long-suffering innocents they’re portrayed to be. They’ve been nothing but trouble — often violent, anti-Buddhist — since they trespassed into Burma / Myanmar.

The AP paints a different picture. Of course, this being the AP.........

The Rohingya are a Muslim ethnic group forced to flee persecution and violence in Myanmar starting in 2017, with an estimated 1 million living in refugee camps in neighboring Bangladesh. Some 10,000 have ended up in the United States.

More than 10,000 Rohingya have been killed and more than 150,000 were subject to physical violence, according to the law firms organizing the cases.

Never heard of a Muslim group that wasn’t a terrorist group.

The Rohingya managed to PO the Buddhists so bad that they ran them out of Burma. What happened to them was entirely their own fault.

It would be nice if both sides could lose the lawsuit.

Muslim terrorists v Facebook - six of one, half dozen of the other.

Just how badly must you misbehave in order to get BUDDHISTS angry enough to chase you away?

Really, think about it!

The Rohingya are jerks and I’m glad Burma cracked down on them. But it’s funny to watch Fakebook tie itself in knots explaining how they are not responsible for content on the site, while they aggressively moderate conservative speech as they amplify communist and leftist speech.

Careful, your critical thinking skills are showing. Big Brother doesn’t like that.

Maybe they need to hire some more interpreters of "conservative speech".
