Hatred in Myanmar has led to what the United Nations described as "ethnic cleansing" of Rohingya Muslims,Interracial | Adult Movies Online and social media has inflamed some of that vitriol.
According to The New York Times, Facebook is the sole news source for many people in Myanmar, where around 90 percent of the population has a mobile device. On Facebook, as many who use it now understand, journalism mixes with false internet drivel designed to generate outrage.

Social media rumors have likely reinforced widespread indifference to Rohingya suffering. Facebook in Myanmar, Bloombergrecently wrote, "has become a platform for hate speech and incendiary rumors targeted at vulnerable minority groups."
A textbook example recently came from none other than a spokesperson for Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar's de facto leader. The Facebook post said that food from a United Nations agency was spotted at a camp of Rohingya "terrorists," implying that the U.N. was feeding assailants who attacked the Myanmar military. The UN called the post "irresponsible."
The Myanmar government has also taken to posting videos of burned and otherwise wrecked Rohingya homes that they claim were destroyed by Rohingya militants, despite eyewitness claims that the military was to blame, according to Deutsche Welle.
