Oversight Board overrules Facebook deletion of Myanmar “hate speech” post – Free Expression Myanmar
the past two years.
Rabat test: Extent: Unknown
The OB stated that the post received 500,000 views and
was shared 6,000 times. This would place it in the top 50
public posts in Myanmar in any one day. The OB has not
shared information about the post’s audience, which
would indicate whether they have the means to act as a
result of the post.
Rabat test: Likelihood including
imminence: Unknown
The OB’s summary describes the user’s intent to influence government policy and law, and implies that any
changes should affect China in particular. There is little
evidence that Myanmar’s policy makers have been significantly affected by user demands on Facebook, and little
evidence too of them limiting China’s general access into
Myanmar.
