  Did anyone else notice that the Facebook whistleblower basically proposed that she should be installed as Zuckerberg's boss? Got to admire the chutzpah. https://twitter.com/...

  NEW: Before Frances Haugen, these Facebook workers raised alarms in the same Integrity unit dedicated to mitigating the company's harms. The walls they hit - over and over - speak volumes about whether the company can police itself. W/@craigtimberg https://www.washingtonpost.com/…

  NEW: Former Facebook employees say the company's unapologetic approach to Frances Haugen and her testimony is backfiring. “I thought the statement they put out about Frances Haugen was beyond the pale.” - @wexler https://www.protocol.com/...

  “We didn't join Facebook because we were big fans of the company. We joined because — rather than shouting about how something sucks you think you can make it better. But over time, you realize that the leadership is either indifferent or ignorant.” https://www.washingtonpost.com…

  NEW: Facebook refused to identify the Proud Boys as a hate organization “out of concern that the Proud Boys had backing in the Republican Party.” - a data scientist tells @lizzadwoskin

  Zuckerberg at once wants you to believe that the FB company culture isn't what it used to be (a frat party) and that the FB mission has always been pure but they've made a few missteps in recent years.

  Facebook culture and mission haven't changed: it's always been an evil clown show but now it's an evil clown show trillion dollar company.

  Here's a fascinating bit: “At least 10 members of the integrity division where Haugen worked now work in a similar division at Twitter.” https://twitter.com/...

  Yet another example of how Facebook's comms strategy is so braindead. It's like it was cooked up in a lab to perfectly be the opposite of what good comms should be. https://twitter.com/...

  remember when Facebook ordered all the women in the office to wear a t-shirt with Mark's face on it for his birthday.

  “The Republicans on the [Facebook] public policy team, they made every single decision to avoid upsetting Trump.” (My $0.02 is this is generous: The Facebook Republicans aren't merely afraid of Trump's ire; they are in on it.) https://twitter.com/...

  Facebook “executives resisted researchers' calls to identify the Proud Boys as a hate organization ... out of concern that the Proud Boys had backing in the Republican Party.” https://twitter.com/...

  “They were just zero percent interested in stuff that I brought them,” this former employee said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. “It was raised all the way up ... and was consistently stopped.” https://twitter.com/...

  Other Facebook employees from the integrity unit have also raised alarm bells. We can't trust @Facebook to fix what's broken - regulations are needed! https://twitter.com/...
