John,

Three years ago, the Burmese military massacred Rohingya families, raped
women and girls, and razed entire villages. 800,000 people were forced to
flee to Bangladesh and are still facing a major humanitarian crisis.

Hate speech and disinformation about the Rohingya spread like wildfire on
Facebook and fanned the flames of this genocide. Facebook took down much
of the violence-inciting content, but now it's refusing to share the
evidence which could prove that the Burmese military intended to commit
genocide against the Rohingya.

But with Facebook under increasing scrutiny from the public and even its
own employees, it could buckle under pressure. Let’s demand that Facebook
stop covering up genocide, and when 100,000 join, SumOfUs will run ads
showing that Mark Zuckerberg has blood on his hands unless he acts.

One of Facebook’s major problems is that it is not equipped to deal with
how fast it’s growing around the world. In Burma, “the internet” is
synonymous with “Facebook”, but the company doesn't have systems in place
to monitor and act as hate speech and disinformation spread across its
groups and pages.

Now Facebook is claiming the information requested is way too broad in
scope, when in reality it’s quite specific and reasonable. Plus, much of
the content was already public, so concerns around privacy don’t quite
hold -- especially in the case of genocide, which is considered humanity's
most heinous crime and should trump privacy concerns. 

Right now this issue is mostly being discussed by Rohingya groups. If we
raise the alarm and show Zuckerberg the whole world is watching, we can
help bring justice to the desperate Rohingya community.

The list of shameful and problematic issues with Facebook is endless. But
that’s why we’re here and that’s why we’ll keep showing up. Let’s do it
again and finally use it to hold these murderers to account.
