As many as 7.5 lakh Rohingya Muslims fled Myanmar in 2017 due to military violence and became refugees in Bangladesh.
Violence against Rohingya Muslims continues. Rohingya refugees are currently suing Facebook for $ 15 billion in damages, citing hate speech on Facebook.
Edilson PC and Fields Plc, two law firms in California, USA, filed the lawsuit yesterday.
Facebook does not systematically monitor the information shared on its site. As a result, the law firms say, they are instigating violence against the Rohingya people.
Facebook has stated that under Section 230 of the U.S. Internet Law, the social networking site company is not responsible for the posts made on the social networking site.
But under Myanmar law, it is said that Facebook can take action against the company and enforce foreign law provisions in certain cases in US courts.
In 2018, the UN said that information shared on Facebook was the main reason for the violence. It is noteworthy that the Human Rights Commission said.
