"Facebook has faced similar criticism in Ethiopia,
which has been engulfed in an armed conflict between the federal
government and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). In 2019, for
instance, the retired Ethiopian runner Haile Gebrselassie blamed “fake news” being shared on Facebook for violence that left 81 people dead in Oromia region.
After another outbreak of ethnic violence in 2020 – sparked by the killing of a popular singer from the Oromo ethnic group – an investigation by Vice
claimed that the violence had been “supercharged by the almost-instant
and widespread sharing of hate speech and incitement to violence on
Facebook, which whipped up people’s anger”.
In
her testimony Haugen blamed engagement-based ranking for “literally
fanning ethnic violence” in countries like Ethiopia. “Facebook … knows,
they have admitted in public, that engagement-based ranking is dangerous
without integrity and security systems, but then not rolled out those
integrity and security systems to most of the languages in the world,”
Haugen said. And that’s what is causing things like ethnic violence in
Ethiopia.”

Bidrag til folkemord ... først i Myanmar.
Og nå også i Etiopia.
Konklusjon: Facebook må straffeforfølges.
