Rohingya refugees sued Facebook for $150 billion over claims the social network is failing to stem hate speech on its platform.

Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees were forced over the Myanmar border into Bangladesh by a military-backed campaign that the UN says amounted to genocideLOS ANGELES - Rohingya refugees sued Facebook on Monday for $150-billion over claims the social network is failing to stem hate speech on its platform, exacerbating violence against the vulnerable minority.

A military-backed campaign that the United Nations said amounted to genocide saw hundreds of thousands of Rohingya driven across the border into Bangladesh in 2017, where they have since lived in sprawling refugee camps. Rights groups have long charged that Facebook does not do enough to prevent the spread of disinformation and misinformation online.They charge that the social media giant allows falsehoods to proliferate, affecting the lives of minorities and skewing elections in democracies such as the United States, where unfounded charges of fraud circulate and intensify among like-minded friends.
