It should not focus only on young people but also on adults. It should educate the adults how to verify and analyse news.” Male, 29 years, Rohingya Muslim, Basara (Rakhine State IDP) One Muslim IDP respondent thought that Facebook should be responsible for training young people to use their platform in a positive and ethical way. “Group and admins on Facebook should conduct awareness training online and positive behaviour training online.” Male, 29 years, Rohingya Muslim, Basara (Rakhine State IDP) Others thought that there needed to be tighter limitations around social media use but did not specify who would be responsible for enacting these limits. “To educate people on the side-effects of social media.
