It is with deep sadness that we mark the passing of James Douglas, valued former lawyer at @VictAdvIntl. James was a champion of the vulnerable, and greatly valued by the Rohingya community with whom he worked closely. We will always miss him, and celebrate his memory.

Victims of atrocities want their stories heard. They expect The Hague to live up to its reputation as the international city of peace and justice — but does the reality match the dream? Our special live pod recording drops Friday.

It is accepted that harmful content will always exist, but Facebook intentionally amplifies content that will increase engagement- and Facebook recognizes that hate speech and misinformation is the type of content that increases engagement. This is something Facebook controls.
The Court firmly misunderstood the central ask of the petition. It was not a request for “pre-censorship” of Rohingya content. It was to order Facebook not to *amplify* harmful content.
#DelhiHighCourt said this would be a situation where the treatment is worse than the disease while refusing a plea filed by #Rohingya refugees who sought pre-censorship of content on #Facebook.
