I mean, I think the bigger issue is probably how rule of law is totally shattered in Myanmar, and you're not going to get some other government to give you relief when the proper venue is in the jurisdiction where the crimes occurred.

Just to be clear, you're throwing your hat in on the side of those who aided the genocide here? Okay.

Just to be clear, no. Suing a platform makes no sense.
