On December 6th, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Facebook, now rebranded as Meta, by Rohingya ethnic cleansing survivors. The cases, filed first in the US, and then in the UK, alleged Facebook's platform allowed and intensified hate speech against the Rohingya people in Myanmar. The survivors are demanding compensatory damages, totalling over €150 billion, in addition to punitive damages. James Clayton, of the North America Tech Report at BBC, said the lawsuits are particularly interesting because "Facebook isn't denying that it could have done more." An internal investigation conducted by Facebook in 2018 revealed that the company failed to prevent the circulation of hate speech and incitement of violence against the Rohingya. In September 2021, a US judge ordered Facebook to release archived posts that portrayed Rohingyas in "sub-human terms" and posts that called for military action. Yet, Facebook resisted releasing the documents. Professor Josh Davis, at the University of San Francisco School of Law, says that it's hard to prove that Facebook's conduct harmed individual class members.
