hate speech is aimed at minorities in the northeastern Indian state of Assam has spread almost unrestrained by Facebook at the same time that the Indian government is divesting nearly 2 million people there citizens, according to a new report released on Tuesday. Posts religious and ethnic minorities in Assam targeting were more accepted than 5.4 million times, seen after the group of online global defense Avaaz, the question for the success of the approach of Facebook called because it was used to spread hate speech during the 2017 genocide Rohingya, “I’m not sure what the lessons learned from the crisis Rohingya Facebook” Alaphia Zoyab, senior campaigner with Avaaz, who led the team that wrote the report, told TIME. “If you expect out of the actual violence, this is too late. You should now observe the warnings.” In August of this year, the Indian government released its final list of the people of Assam so that 1.9 million of people. The Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party government (BJP) has sold the exercise as eradicating illegal immigrants from neighboring Bangladesh. But rights groups have said that was likely to make millions without state and ignite tensions between Hindus and Muslims in the region. The situation in Assam has compared the campaign Buddhist extremists against the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar, which reached its peak in 2017, forcing more than 700,000 to flee their homes. In Hindu majority India, Muslims have faced an increase in attacks since the BJP came to power. In Assam, about 1.9 million people, many believed to be the Bengali-speaking minority, they are threatened in line with statelessness as a result of governmental measures on elimination of “intruders” from the country. “We are very concerned about something like the Rohingya crisis plays again,” said Human Rights Watch again in August. Bengali Muslims, in particular, seem to be the targets of hate speech on Facebook, to be from Avaaz, the messages on the site, found “pests” called “rats” and “rapists” and urge them to be exterminated. No Burmese speakers, after the Rohingya genocide, was not used to recognize the situation and criticized diatribes remove Facebook. Facebook has not said in 2018 he had “done enough” to prevent genocide, and had been “invested heavily in people, technology and partners to address the abuse of Facebook in Myanmar”. But the report Avaaz in Assamese language focusing on hate speech, calls into question whether the Facebook system incitement to recognize other languages in the work of English. “Facebook is too incitement of artificial intelligence to recognize,” says Zoyab TIME. “Our research shows that trust is made on a false premise, because people are reporting hate speech assumes the then teach their artificial intelligence systems. This has not happened. Do not inquire immediately answer questions from time” Facebook Assamese speakers many deals as part of its 15,000-strong content moderation team. Avaaz said that 213 of the “best examples of hate speech,” reported on Facebook, but said that the site had only 96 away from them by Community rules for the injury. The report describes a case in which only one inciting hatred against Muslims by Facebook Bengali seven times his team had removed only set new accounts every time and continue booking. “When we in the hate speech in Assam online through Facebook online reporting tools, automated messages Facebook has sent us back that this does not violate their community standards,” says Zoyab. “Facebook does say that it’s a zero-tolerance policy against hate speech, but Assam seems to prove that it is a wholly-owned failure.” “If you are stateless, you basically lose your right to have rights,” says Zoyab. “All in all, just that Facebook are driving is to protect the most vulnerable people in the world sleep here.” copyright Image of NurPhoto-NurPhoto via Getty Images
