Facebook knew the Myanmar genocide was being orchestrated via ads on their platform. This wasn't even people posting and sharing, Facebook was accepting money in exchange for boosting content that promoted genocide. And they were told about it plenty of times without doing anything.

Wow I hadn't heard about this. What an awful event.

Given the consequences, Facebook should dedicate resources to prevent it from happening again.
