Facebook and Burma--

Was ”caught” by sample algorithm

Oversight board said it needed “to be read by someone who understands Burmese”

Term was “f-ing Chinese” but Oversight Bd said it was against Ch Govt, not people.

No user flagged the post as racist.

Oversight Bd ordered FB to restore the post.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/12/health/us-coronavirus-thursday/index.html As Covid-19 infections and hospitalizations soared across the US , experts warned higher death tolls would soon follow. On Wednesday, there were at least 1,893 American deaths from the virus, according to Johns Hopkins University -- the highest daily death toll the country has seen since early May. Already, more than 241,700 people have died. And with the virus running unabated within US communities, that number will likely only keep climbing. Texas becomes the first US state with more than 1 million Covid-19 infections Another more than 110,000 Americans are projected to lose their lives in just the next two months, according to the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.
