Facebook shutters dozens of accounts tied to Myanmar's military

Facebook on Thursday said the military in Myanmar is still using the platform to sow ethnic divisions in the country, almost a year after the social media giant faced furious criticism for failing to catch a government campaign to spread disinformation about the nation's Rohingya Muslims.

The company said it removed 89 accounts, 107 pages, 15 groups and five Instagram accounts over "inauthentic behavior" in Myanmar. This is the fourth time over the past year Facebook has reported takedowns of accounts linked to Myanmar's military.
