SAN FRANCISCO: Facebook employees walked away from their work-from-home desks on Monday and took to Twitter to accuse Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg of inadequately policing US President Donald Trump’s posts as strictly as the rival platform has done.
It was a rare case of staff publicly taking their CEO to task, with one employee tweeting that thousands participated. “Mark is wrong, and I will endeavour in the loudest possible way to change his mind,” wrote Ryan Freitas, identified on Twitter as director of product design for Facebook’s News Feed.A Facebook employee said Zuckerberg’s weekly Friday question-and-answer session would be moved up this week to Tuesday.
Separately, online therapy company Talkspace said it ended partnership discussions with Facebook. Talkspace CEO Oren Frank tweeted he would “not support a platform that incites violence, racism, and lies.”Tech workers at companies including Facebook, Google, and Amazon have pursued social justice issues in recent years, urging the companies to change policies.
Last week, nationwide unrest erupted after the death of a black man, George Floyd, in police custody in Minneapolis last Monday. Twitter said it violated rules against glorifying violence but was left up as a public interest exception.
