Monks from the hardline Ma Ba Tha group and their supporters stage an anti-Rohingya rally in 2016 outside the US embassy in Yangon. "It is a violation of freedom of expression," Thuseitta, a member of the Patriotic Myanmar Monks' Union told Reuters hours after Facebook identified him as a "hate figure". "We will keep using Facebook with different names and accounts to tell the truth to people." The California-based company will invest more in artificial intelligence to deal with languages in Myanmar, it said. Ei Myat Noe Khin, a manager of Yangon-based Phandeeyar, which helped Facebook translate its Burmese-language community standards, urged the company to hire more people who are unbiased and understand Myanmar well.
