罗兴亚难民正在起诉 Facebook,因为 Facebook 承认未能阻止导致缅甸暴力的仇恨言论的传播。

本周,美国和英国的律师事务所发起了针对 Facebook (FB) 母公司 Meta 的法律行动,指控称其高管知道社交网络上的反罗兴亚帖子、群组和账户,并且几乎没有采取任何行动。遏制他们,他们在一份声明中说。

根据为该活动设立的网站,英国的法律索赔将代表居住在美国以外任何地方的人,而美国的索赔将代表居住在美国的人。

该网站称,总的来说,这些律师代表“世界各地的罗兴亚人,包括生活在孟加拉国难民营中的人”。

美国律师事务所埃德尔森在推特上表示,它已在加利福尼亚州对 Meta 提起集体诉讼。 CNN Business 审查的一份投诉副本显示,除了将在法庭上确定的惩罚性赔偿外,原告还寻求超过 1500 亿美元的补偿性赔偿。

在周一致 Facebook 伦敦办事处的一封信中,McCue Jury & Partners 表示已与美国的合作伙伴协调启动“跨大西洋法律运动,为罗兴亚人民寻求正义”。

Facebook sued for $150 billion over violence against Rohingya in Myanmar

Rohingya refugees are suing Facebook over its own admitted failure to stop the spread of hate speech that contributed to violence in Myanmar.

This week, law firms in the United States and United Kingdom have launched a legal campaign against Meta, Facebook's (FB) parent company, over allegations that executives knew of anti-Rohingya posts, groups and accounts on the social network, and did little to curb them, they said in a statement.

According to a website set up for the campaign, the UK legal claim will be on behalf of those who live anywhere outside the United States, while the American claim will represent those residing stateside.

Altogether, the attorneys represent "Rohingya people around the world, including those living in refugee camps in Bangladesh," states the website.

US law firm Edelson said on Twitter it had filed a proposed class action lawsuit against Meta in California. A copy of the complaint reviewed by CNN Business shows that plaintiffs are seeking more than $150 billion in compensatory damages, in addition to punitive damages to be determined in court.

In a letter addressed to Facebook's London office on Monday, McCue Jury & Partners said that it had coordinated with partners in the United States to kick off a "trans-Atlantic legal campaign to seek justice for the Rohingya people."
