The whole documentary is extraordinary. But the part relevant to this post begins at 39:26.



In the wake of democracy protests earlier this year the Al Khalifa regime utilized Facebook sites to get citizens to inform on protestors, coordinate vigilantes and hunt down activitists for arrest and torture. Facebook seems to have removed the pages as an embarassment to itself but too late to help the victims. Mr. Zuckerman is on the way to monetize torture. Not since the Rawadian radio stations coordinated the genocide there have I seen anything to match this use of media.

Facebook wants information to be free. Pro-Democracy protestors facing brutal oppresion...not so much.
