Last Thursday and Saturday, I posted the first two pieces of a four-part series on Meta in Myanmar on my site:

These two posts stitch together accounts of what was actually happening in Myanmar between 2012 and 2018, both online and off. The third post, set to go up this coming Thursday, deals with what we now know about what was happening inside Meta at the time—inside the machinery of Facebook’s algorithms and inside the company itself.
