Authors : Khennour Mahmoud .
Abstract
The widespread use of social media in recent years has left a positive effect on our lives. However, this extensive use had led to the proliferation of harmful content, due to the algorithms utilized by these companies. this technology has posed a serious risk to the security of societies and countries. The Rohingya Crisis provides a tangible example of the negative impact of hate speech on social media platforms. Various pieces of evidence demonstrate Facebook’s role in inciting violence against the Rohingya minority. Despite receiving several warnings from different sources about the impact of its platform, Facebook did not react sufficiently, which caused the escalated ethnic cleansing. The Rohingya crisis raised concerns about Facebook’s complicity in Myanmar and debate about the obstacles hindering the prosecution of Facebook and its executives for potential criminal complicity.
