A number of high-profile army figures in Myanmar, including the army chief, no longer have Facebook accounts.Facebook cancelled their accounts after a UN report called for several leaders to be investigated and prosecuted for genocide over their role in violence against the Rohingya minority and others. It's the first time Facebook has banned any country's military or political leader... The UN report said that for most users in Myanmar "Facebook is the internet" but that it had become a "useful instrument for those seeking to spread hate".

...Its wording was the strongest UN condemnation so far of the military's operations against the Rohingya. The military launched a crackdown in Rakhine state last year after Rohingya militants carried out deadly attacks on police posts. Thousands of people have died and more than 700,000 Rohingya have fled to neighbouring Bangladesh. There are also widespread allegations of human rights abuses, including arbitrary killing, rape and burning of land... The report named six senior military figures, including Myanmar's top commander Min Aung Hlaing, who it said should be investigated for genocide, and called for the case to be referred to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
