These recommendations informed significant investments in content moderation, policy changes, product development and governance of human rights work at Meta.
In 2018, Meta commissioned Business for Social Responsibility (BSR) to conduct an independent HRIA of the role of our services in Myanmar.
BSR concluded that, prior to 2018, Meta had not done enough to help prevent our platform from being used to foment division and incite offline violence. The HRIA made recommendations related to governance and accountability; enforcement of our content policies; engagement, trust and transparency; advocacy efforts aimed at reform in Myanmar; and preparation for the 2020 elections.
These recommendations helped shape our approach to Myanmar, informing significant investments in content moderation, policy changes, product development and governance of human rights work at Meta.
