This article examines the complex role of social media platforms in transitional justice processes, with a particular focus on the challenges and impediments these platforms can present. Using the Rohingya genocide as a case study, we scrutinize the destructive impact that social media, especially Facebook, can have when misused for inciting hate speech and violence. Furthermore, the article delves into the governance mechanisms of social media platforms, shedding light on the failures that contributed to the genocide. In this exploration, we identify both internal and external governance mechanisms that faltered in their duty to protect human rights. The article also scrutinizes legal mechanisms available for bringing justice to genocide victims at both international and domestic levels. Ultimately, this article contributes to ongoing discussions about digital platform accountability, the intersection of human rights and online content moderation and the importance of rigorous platform governance in the context of transitional justice.
