ricardoreison An Independent Assessment of the Human Rights Impact of Facebook in Myanmar

Unfortunately the report itself uses diplomatic language which can be hard to parse.

ricardoreison An Independent Assessment of the Human Rights Impact of Facebook in Myanmar

As part of that commitment, we commissioned an independent human rights impact assessment on the role of our services in Myanmar and today we are publishing the findings.

An entity paid by FB to investigate its misconduct is, by definition, not "independent".
