WHO Facebook Suspected of Banning Comments About Taiwan
The World Health Organisation posted a COVID-19 vaccine Q&A video on Facebook on Nov 12. The former secretary general of Demosistō, Joshua Wong, attempted to comment "Taiwan can help" on the video, but had his comment removed. Joshua believed that the WHO Facebook page's administrators had set a ban on comments mentioning Taiwan. He compared the ban to Lord Voldemort as a taboo in Harry Potter.
Joshua Wong said the WHO published a live video about COVID-19 vaccines at mid-night, Nov 12 HKT. He planned to write #TaiwanCanHelp to express his support on Taiwan joining the WHO meeting. However, the page limited his comment showing an exclamation mark in a red frame disallowing the comment.

Because of the new privacy policy, there is a social media immigration trend. Now, there is another reason to leave #Facebook. According to this article, Facebook has been sharing data with other phone companies including #Huawei, a company owned by #PLA. Meaning, the Facebook app is a backdoor for #CCP to enter our phones.

Facebook confirms data-sharing agreements with Chinese firms
Facebook confirmed to have data-sharing partnership with Chinese firms including Huawei, a company US intelligence previously flagged as a security threat.
The agreements gave the Chinese firms some access to users' data to help them build Facebook "experiences" on their smartphones.
The New York Times reported that Facebook had given at least 60 device-makers access to users' data and their Facebook friends without obtaining explicit consent and that in some cases the details were stored on the firms' own servers.
A report by the committee asked whether the firms were too close to China's Communist Party and its military. It also suggested their products and services could pose a long-term security threat to the US.

Was joking when I say the hack was 'casual'. According to Facebook:
"This activity had the hallmarks of a well-resourced and persistent operation, while obfuscating who's behind it," (bit.ly/3lLi8wY).
'Earth Empusa' or 'Evil Eye' targeted ~500 activists, journalists and dissidents in hopes to install spying software on their devices.
Guess they want to keep tabs on them even they are out of CCP's grips? Disgusting.

After Chinese-funded factory was arson, the Myanmar military and police enter and kill at least 39 people
Anti-China sentiment has risen in Myanmar. After a Chinese factory was attacked, police and military were sent to demonstrators’ settlement in Hlaing Tharyar district on Sunday, 14 Mar, 2021., killing at least 22 people in the poor industrial suburb.
Moreover, at least 16 demonstrators were killed in the bloody suppression in other regions and one police died in the confrontation, pushing up the death toll to 39 in one day and making it the bloodiest day since the military coup on February 1, 2021.
Burmese people are dissatisfying China for not condemning the military takeover, suspecting Beijing’s acquiescence in, or even connivance with the military coup. Days of military crackdowns have caused people to vent their anger on local Chinese companies.
There were Chinese-funded clothing factories being set on fire in Hlaing Tharyar, the China Embassy also claimed there were on duty officials being beaten, some Chinese-funded hotels were getting attacked. There was no organisation admitted the responsibility yet. The protest leader Ei Thinzar Maung said on Facebook, “If you want to do business in Myanmar stably, then respect Myanmar people.”
After some Chinese-funded companies being attacked, the Chinese Embassy in Myanmar announced a statement urging the military government to take actions, “China urges Myanmar to take further effective measures to stop all acts of violence, punish the perpetrators in accordance with the law and ensure the safety of life and property of Chinese companies and personnel in Myanmar.” But the statement did not mention anything about police brutality and military suppression. The Facebook page of the embassy got lots of negative comments in Burmese from netizens.

#Facebook: #ChineseHackers Attempt to Breach #Uyghurs Communication Devices for #Surveillance
Facebook reported that groups of Chinese hackers tried to set up fake accounts on Facebook in order to get in contact with Uyghurs overseas. After gaining their trust, they send their victims malicious links disguised as Uyghur news sites or online stores, in an attempt to install spyware on their phones for surveillance.
The report on the hacking activities was published on March 24, 2021 in which Facebook did not directly link the incident to the Chinese government, but said that the activity "had the hallmarks of a well-resourced and persistent operation". The hacking groups involved, known in the cybersecurity industry as Earth Empusa and Evil Eye, have also been involved in other surveillance activities in the past.
The hackers mainly target Uyghur human rights activists, journalists, and dissidents from Xinjiang. Most of them currently live in Turkey, Kazakhstan, the United States, Syria, Australia and Canada.

🤑<— Facebook when they see CCP money therefore allow them to spread fake news via state media account. So denying genocide and showing fabricated propaganda against the fact that people got killed, torture doesn’t “violate current policies”?

Facebook Staff Fret Over China’s Ads Portraying Happy Muslims in Xinjiang
Facebook Inc. is blocked in China, but Beijing is a big user of the platform to spread its political views to hundreds of millions of people overseas, sometimes via advertisements.
Now, some Facebook staff are raising concerns on internal message boards and in other employee discussions that the company is being used as a conduit for state propaganda, highlighting sponsored posts from Chinese organizations that purport to show Muslim ethnic minority Uyghurs thriving in China’s Xinjiang region, according to people familiar with the matter.
The U.S. and some European governments say Beijing is committing genocide against the Uyghurs, citing a campaign that includes political indoctrination, mass internment and forced sterilizations.
