Everyone in #tech should read @kissane's in-progress, deeply informative, and incredibly disturbing history of Facebook's involvement in the systematic #genocide of hundreds of thousands to millions of #Muslims in #Myanmar. I thought I knew most of the story, but the total #crimes and negligence are more complex […] media coverage before.

Utterly baffles me that anyone can sleep at night working for #Facebook.

"pay attention to is the way in which ideas get co-opted and twisted. Everything from “I can’t breathe,” the slogan of the Black Lives Matter racial justice uprisings, becomes: “I can’t breathe, because of a mask.” The vaccines are cast as “#Canada’s second genocide,” a direct reference to the #genocide of #FirstNations. “My body, my choice,” is about not getting a vaccine." https://breachmedia.ca/naomi-klein-steve-bannon-maga-doppelganger-populism-2/

Renaissance-style painting of RCMP in dress uniform and Catholic priests and nuns violently kidnapping children from a rural Indigenous home. Bears much in common with the Rubens painting Massacre of the Innocents.

My dad intentionally did not get me status. He hid from me that we are Mi’kmaq until about fifteen years ago when I found out his sister is Mi’kmaw. He was trying to save me from what had happened to him and his siblings, and you know, maybe he did. Because I was never taken away and incarcerated in one of those loathsome residential “schools”. The last residential school closed three years after I graduated university. He only opened up to me about his mom being Mi’kmaw a year ago. I know almost nothing about Mi’kmaq culture. The very little I do know comes from a Mi’kmaw elder who prepared me to go through a week of ceremony shortly after the lockdowns. Please consider donating to the Indian Residential School Survivors’ Society. You could also look through the #IndigenousMutualAid tag and find folks who can really use your help. #ResidentialSchool #genocide #Indigedon #OrangeShirtDay #IndigenousMastodon #TruthAndReconciliationDay https://www.irsss.ca

In the background is the Kamloops Indian Residential School. In the foreground is a modern-day version of Nuliajuk, Inuk mother of the sea, with facial tattoos and wild loose hair. She has a mournful expression and wears an orange tshirt with the number 215. That is the number of unmarked children’s graves discovered at that concentration camp: the first of thousands of unmarked graves to be acknowledged by the Canadian government.

@davidbootster @noelreports All the Putin-regime wants to achieve with this grotesque move is to further ridicule & discredit international law, commonly agreed upon norms, rules & values.
Is Putin already that senile, that he really believes, he could turn the international community into a vladimiresque club of idiotic dictators above all laws they didn't invent to get away with any atrocity, idiocy, audacity & inhumanity?

Facebook/Meta's role in the genocide of the Rohingya in Myanmar.

https://erinkissane.com/meta-in-myanmar-part-i-the-setup

Extrait :
Back in early July, I started working on a quick series of posts about online structures of refuge and exposure. In a draft of what I meant to be the second post in the series, I tried to write a tight two or three paragraphs about the role Meta played in the genocide of the Rohingya people in Myanmar, and why it made me dubious about Threads. Over time, those two or three paragraphs turned into a long summary, then a detailed timeline, then an unholy hybrid of blog post and research paper.

What I learned in the process was so starkly awful that I finally set the whole series aside for a while until I could do a lot more reading and write something more substantial. Nearly three months later, I’m ready to share my notes.

Here’s a necessary personal disclosure: I’ve never trusted Facebook, mostly because I’ve been around tech for a long time and everything I’ve ever learned about the company looked like a red flag. Like, I’m on the record swearing about it.

But once I started to really dig in, what I learned was so much gnarlier and grosser and more devastating than what I’d assumed. The harms Meta passively and actively fueled destroyed or ended hundreds of thousands of lives that might have been yours or mine, but for accidents of birth. I say “hundreds of thousands” because “millions” sounds unbelievable, but by the end of my research I came to believe that the actual number is very, very large.

To make sense of it, I had to try to go back, reset my assumptions, and try build up a detailed, factual understanding of what happened in this one tiny slice of the world’s experience with Meta. The risks and harms in Myanmar—and their connection to Meta’s platform—are meticulously documented. And if you’re willing to spend time in the documents, it’s not that hard to piece together what happened.

I started down this path—in this series, on this site, over this whole year—because I want to help make better technologies and systems in service of a better world. And I think the only way to make better things is to thoroughly understand what’s happened so far. Put another way, I want to base decisions on transparently sourced facts and cautiously reasoned analysis, not on assumptions or vibes—mine or anyone else’s.

What I want to promise you, my imaginary reader, is that I’ve approached this with as much care and precision as I can. I cite a lot of documentation from humanitarian organizations and many well-sourced media reports, and also a bunch of internal Meta documentation. What I’m after is maybe something like a cultural-technical incident report. I hope it helps.

This is the first of four posts in the series. Thank you for reading.
