Some Facebook employees plan to stage a virtual walkout on Monday to protest CEO Mark Zuckerberg's decision not to take action on a series of controversial posts from President Donald Trump last week, a person familiar with the plans told CNN Business.
As part of the walkout, employees will take the day off work. Managers at Facebook have been told by the company's human resources department not to retaliate against staff who are planning to protest, or to make them used paid time-off, the source told CNN.The New York Times first reported the protest.The walkout comes alongside a rare wave of public dissent from Facebook employees on Twitter.
— Stirman May 30, 2020 "I've been struggling with how to respond to the President's tweets and posts all day. Personally, I have a visceral negative reaction to this kind of divisive and inflammatory rhetoric," Zuckerberg wrote in a Facebook post on Friday."But I'm responsible for reacting not just in my personal capacity but as the leader of an institution committed to free expression.
Somebody come up with a platform that has no politics.

Yea! Thou that feigns righteousness in the false name of Freedom of Speech, shall be regulated. (Ya can't even condemn the Prez threatening violence against his own people Mark? Geez Louise).
Zuckerberg is a disgrace I hope people start closing their Facebook accounts and show this disgrace of a CEO that America will not stand for his outrageous position on allowing trump to spread lies.
A man with very few morals. Shameful.
ATTENTION shareholders and stakeholders: REMOVEMARKZUCKERBERG AS CEO. He has a duty to uphold the INTEGRITY of a PUBLICLY traded company. His BILLIONS DON'T COME BEFORE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILTY
You yanks got on about your rights yet you wanna take away somebody else right to free speech ...irony of the Ignorance

Zuck if they protest fire them immediately
Maybe if the police were lining the streets taking a knee, the response to their presence would be entirely different...Grow a set Mark. Not all about the money. What will your children think of you? Hopefully not the 'unstable genius' children clones with no regard for anyone.
I’ve had a FB account since 2013. I just deleted it.
IamTrumpDontBlockMe He is workout guy
Hope he fires all of them.
You are giving this kiddo a lot of undeservable highlights. He is not a rocket scientist, he is just a kid who robbed an idea from his friends and, then he turned to a billionaire in a matter of seconds. Therefore, all it matters for this guy, is to be more richer.
Don't stage a walk out, quit u snowflakes. Don't try to get fired to collect unemployment. Quit n go find a new job.
This explains why FB should stay out of the fact checking con
Just punch him in the face. Please. For the love of god.
This is great news!
Mark showed his true colors 'RACISM'
Solid attempt of the Leftist to censor what they think is not inline with their ideas - for the Left it is all about censorship or development of lies that can be the basis of their attempt for power. They have been trying it for the last 4 years. They are the ones that like USSR
At least some employees believe in INTEGRITY and TRUTH!
