Online extremism in Somaliland

Social media platforms particularly Facebook are important social platforms that are used in Somaliland. Most Somalilanders post in the Somali language. The community standard rules of Facebook do not detect violations even when it is reported because of the language barrier.

The failure of Facebook gave extremists to publicly use the platform to promote violence, religious extremism and antisemitism.

It is imperative for Facebook to recognize this weakness and come up with strategies to tackle terrorism and extremism.
