BSR | Human Rights Impact Assessment: Facebook in Myanmar 44 7.2 MYANMAR BSR recommends the creation of a human rights management and mitigation plan by Facebook covering the following four priorities: » Community Standards Enforcement, especially as it relates to resourcing, partnerships, and the use of AI. » Engagement, Trust, and Transparency, especially as it relates to public reporting and engagement with local stakeholders. » Systemwide Change, especially as it relates to public policy, digital literacy, capacity building, and counter-hate speech narrative efforts. » Risk Mitigation and Opportunity Enhancement, especially as it relates to preparing for future developments and undertaking deeper-dive investigations into specific human rights risks and opportunities. The tables below list the specific BSR recommendations for each priority. Each recommendation is accompanied by an explanation based on the insights gained during this assessment and the expectations of the UNGPs and GNI commitments. BSR notes that some of these recommendations build on activities already well underway at Facebook, while others would be new activities for the company. Facebook’s recent activities in Myanmar are welldescribed in two blogs posted in August 2018: “Update on Myanmar” 72 and “Removing Myanmar Military Officials From Facebook.”73 BSR also notes that the recent action to remove senior military officials from Facebook has a material impact on Facebook’s ability to implement some of BSR’s recommendations, especially those that relate to activities undertaken inside Myanmar. The implementation timeline will need careful consideration. 72 73 Facebook, 2018(a). Facebook, 2018(b).
