The dark side of Burma's Facebook boom








Wirathu told me that he likes Aung San Suu Kyi, "she is a good citizen," he said, but "her information is incorrect" on incidents of religious violence, the status of the Rohingya and the threat Islam poses in Burma. Nobody can "reach her heart with the truth," he said. He seems intent on trying, however— while we were speaking he used Facebook continuously on his tablet. He told me that he dislikes social media. "Most of the people who use Facebook are bad citizens," he said. "They do not respect each other's ideas." He, however, is using it to disseminate "truth," he claims.
