A recently filed lawsuit exposes the Facebook profit model, once again, this time in Ethiopia.
Amare’s son, researcher Abrham Amare, appealed to Facebook to have the posts removed but heard nothing back for weeks. Eight days after his father’s murder, Abrham received a response from Facebook: One of the posts targeting his father, shared by a page with more than 50,000 followers, had been removed.
“I hold Facebook personally responsible for my father’s murder,” he says.
