Some Facebook Staff Say Company Being Used for Chinese Propaganda

Some Facebook staff are raising concerns on internal message boards and in other employee discussions that the company is being used as a conduit for Chinese propaganda, highlighting sponsored posts from Chinese organizations that purport to show Muslim ethnic minority Uyghurs thriving in China’s Xinjiang region, according to people familiar with the matter. The U.S. and some European governments say Beijing is committing genocide against the Uyghurs, citing a campaign that includes political indoctrination, mass internment and forced sterilizations.
