Meta/Facebook changes threaten Myanmar’s digital space
Meta has conducted Human Rights Impact Assessments on Myanmar and
other high-risk countries after admitting its platforms enabled human rights
violations, including crimes against the Rohingya. These assessments are
part of the United Nations’ Guiding Principles on Business and Human
Rights, which Meta has committed to follow. Meta’s Myanmar assessment
emphasises the need for context-based decisions and prior consultation.
However, there is no indication that Meta has conducted adequate due
diligence outside the U.S. ahead of these global changes. HRM fears this
clear oversight could foreshadow a repeat of past mistakes.
