Facebook* vs. Cambodia: A Lesson in Securing Information Space "IndyWatch Feed Asia"
A recent row between US-based social media giant Meta* (also known as Facebook*) and Cambodias Prime Minister Hun Sen, saw the Southeast Asian leader migrate from Facebook* to Telegram, a social media application popular in former Soviet republics and in a growing number of other nations around the globe.
Global Voices, a Western foundation-funded media outlet, in an article titled, Cambodian Prime Minister quits Facebook* after Oversight Board review, claimed that Facebook* representatives decided to suspend Prime Minister Hun Sens account for six months after allegedly inciting violence.
Prime Minister Hun Sens comments may or may not have constituted such a violation of Facebooks terms of service, however the real issue at heart is why Cambodias leadership is being targeted and suspended while Washington-based politicians, their political allies abroad, and networks of opposition groups globally including those engaged in actual physical violence are not.
Militant groups backed by the US and its allies in another Southeast Asian country, Myanmar, for example, maintain accounts on Facebook* in good standing despite calling for, carrying out, then celebrating deadly violence on the US-based social media platform.
US-Based Social Media Platforms as a Tool of US-Sponsored Regime Change
This hypocrisy stems from the special relationship Facebook* and the US State Department have maintained for well over a decade, stretching back years before the US-engineered Arab Spring where Facebook*, other US-based social media giants, and the US State Department all worked together to train agitators ahead of the region-wide destabilization of the Arab World from 2011 onward....

Killings in Rohingya refugee camp after ICC prosecutor visit alarming Merhrom Myanmar Ethnic Rohingyas Human Rights Organization Malaysia (MERHROM)
Bangladesh, UN must act immediately to increase safety, security in such locations
MYANMAR Ethnic Rohingya Human Rights Organisation Malaysia (Merhrom) is very saddened by the killing of six Rohingya refugees in the Coxs Bazar refugee camp in Bangladesh yesterday.
We regret that this killing happened after the International Criminal Courts (ICC) chief prosecutor Karim Khan visited the refugee camps. We believe this is another propaganda to disrupt the prosecution process at the ICC on the Rohingya genocide case.
The recent killing of the six Rohingya shows how serious the security problem has been in the refugee camps for many years. This definitely is not the first and the last killing. The security issues in the refugee camps must be dealt with utmost urgency without delay.
This requires immediate actions by the Bangladesh government and the United Nations in particular to increase safety and security in the refugee camps.
We have witnessed how many Rohingya have been killed since the assassination of Mohib Ullah. We have witnessed lack of action taken by the Bangladesh government resulting in the ongoing killing and crimes in the refugee camps.
We call upon the United Nations, Bangladesh government, USA, EU, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Asean, OIC, civil society organisations and the Rohingya leaders to restore safety and security for the Rohingya in the refugee camps. We must hold consultation with the Rohingya in the refugee camps on how to improve safety and security in the refugee camps.
If refugee camps are no longer safe, it will force the Rohingya to flee the refugee camps again and again where they will face another challenge in exile including falling into human traffickers hands. Therefore, the safety and security in the camps must be restored without delay.
The dire situation in the refugee camps worsened by the cutting of food ration from US$12 to US$10 and finally refugees received US$8 per month since May 2023 which only allows them to buy rice.
This has contributed to increasing crimes in the refugee camps. We believe the Bangladesh...
