I try to understand how this decision came to be and I have no idea? A standardised set of rules would surely lead to many many more pages being taking down. And why now and not last week?

Because Myanmar people lobbied for it.

The military is shooting its own people, kidnapping them in the middle of the night, and torturing them.

Over 10 protestors dead and 50+ injured, as they are using live rounds on protestors. Over 500+ disappeared or kidnapped. Protestors killed include two teenagers shot in the head, one of them a medic. They also shot at ambulance. They’ve threatened to kill doctors. Stole the covid vaccination after beating doctors trying to stop them.

Last night they shot a neighborhood watchman in my neighborhood.

Be assured I condemn violence of all sorts. My question still stands how such decisions are made?
