Social Media Platforms Are Spreading Violent Warmongering Content Encouraging All-Out War Between Ethiopia and Eritrea, Again
A statement from @DAIR at https://www.dair-institute.org/blog/tigray-social/
"For the last 3 years, we have been researching and documenting the role of social media platforms in exacerbating the 2020-2022 Tigray war. We performed computational analyses to quantify the level of hate speech on these platforms, and interviewed content moderators to better understand the organizational practices that have resulted in the platforms’ failures to adequately curb genocidal language. These platforms pledged to do better following the revelation that they promoted violence that incited genocide against the Rohingya in 2016. Facebook claimed to do “longstanging work to protect people in Ethiopia” when confronted with its moderation failures during the 2020-2022 Tigray war which resulted in the genocide of Tigrayans. But we are seeing an acceleration of the same type of warmongering on social media platforms that we documented at the beginning of the catastrophic Tigray war in 2020.
It's not enough to perform a postmortem analysis after millions have been killed, maimed, or displaced, and merely promise to do better without delivering on that promise....
This spread of violent language is not unique to Facebook. Clear calls for mass violence and warmongering on TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and YouTube are exponentially growing with no signs of action by these companies. Supporters and opponents of both the Ethiopian and Eritrean governments have spent months antagonizing each other on these platforms, threatening to destroy each other on the battlefield, promoting the recruitment of fighters, and demonizing enemy factions. Renowned Ethiopian government-backed activists with hundreds of thousands of followers have flooded these platforms with clear calls for all-out war against Eritrea and the annexation of its territory."

Afewerki beherrscht Eritrea: Afrikas letztes Einparteiensystem
Seitdem es das ostafrikanische Land Eritrea gibt, gibt es dort nur einen Herrscher: Diktator Afewerki denkt nicht daran, die Macht abzugeben. Die Jugend flieht vor dem Militärdienst - wenn sie kann. Von Antje Diekhans.

#Trump has #Russia, #NorthKorea, #Syria, and #Eritrea on his cards. Congrats.
The list of countries voting against condemning Putin for the invasion of Ukraine reads like The League Of Failed Democracies (other than North Korea, which never bothered pretending to be a democracy).
joining the same team as north korea, russia, sudan, and equatorial guinea feels like a real "jumping the shark" moment for america.
p.s. people wondering why #Palau is on the list may be unaware that Palau is a real up and comer in the global #MoneyLaundering industry and has become infested with russian money in the aftermath of the sanction regime.

Die Opfer kamen aus Syrien, Afghanistan, Bosnien und Eritrea.
Der Name des Täters lautet Rickard Andersson, weil ja gewisse Kreise immer gern den Namen solcher Täter erfahren möchten.

TIL: Eritrea gets is name from the Red Sea or Erythraean Sea (Ἐρυθρὰ Θάλασσα Erythra Thalassa, based on the adjective ἐρυθρός erythros "red").
I should have spotted that.

Meta has so many blood on their hands, that it is unbelievable people are still using their products. And also don't forget companies like Sama, who are also into the #AI scam. Using people from the global south for mentally damaging (and underpaid) social media moderation and AI training! Just 
STOP using #Meta products! Yes that means #Instagram, #Threads and #WhatsApp as well!
