I’m Thushan Ganegedara, a 3 rd year undergraduate from the Department of Computer Science & Engineering, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. Moreover, I should mention my mentor Meghan Larson who has been a great support in my journey. She has been very supportive and responsive on the matters I have had so far.

Facebook recently announced a test in Sri Lanka, Bolivia, Slovakia, Serbia, Guatemala, and Cambodia. When you have awesome content on your website that supporters can’t help but share with their friends on Facebook, you gain the upper hand in the Newsfeed! But no algorithm is perfect.

I covered our Human Rights program, including the Martus Project and the Human Rights Data Analysis Group (which joined Benetech last year).

BB: In the same video you talked about how a lot of the solutions that you're working to support, the people in the community come up with them and they are the ones implementing them. I also lived in Sri Lanka right about the time that sex tourism became a big deal, and saw it firsthand. CA: Anything that you can imagine.

We support an open and competitive environment that is based on user buy in. If you show support you are lazy – no. Like Sri Lanka where pictures weren’t getting out. Without a doubt, every user is important to our business but every user has the choice. Do we want to keep you?
