OAKLAND, Calif. Dozens of Facebook employees, in rare public criticism on Monday of their own company, protested executives decision not to do anything about inflammatory posts that President Trump had placed on the giant social media platform over the last week.
The employees, who took the day off by logging into Facebooks systems and requesting time off to support protesters across the country, also added an automated message to their emails saying that they were out of the office in a show of protest. The group is one of many clusters of employees attempting to push back on executives. As of Monday morning, many employees continued to discuss a list of demands for management.
The movement a virtual walkout of sorts since most Facebook employees are working from home because of the coronavirus pandemic comes as staff members have circulated petitions and threatened to resign. More than a dozen current and former employees have described the unrest as the most serious challenge to Mr. Zuckerbergs leadership since the company was founded 15 years ago.
Mr. Zuckerberg has argued on a number of occasions that Facebook should take a hands-off approach to what people post, including lies from elected officials and others in power. He has repeatedly said the public should be allowed to decide what to believe.

But they are not partial to any one side. Right.
Ah, another reason I don’t “do” Facebook...
Words hurt Snowflakes safe in their enclaves...they are not worthy of America
Me too.
Don’t worry. They won’t have it long.
Fire them.
That’ll teach him!
I set my status to offline! Thatll show em!
Slurps Starbucks.
Zuckerberg should (but likely won’t of course) put up a sign saying
“Help wanted- unbiased employees to work in various positrons recently made available by biased people that can’t handle the truth walking out. Apply today”
Oh man, when you’ve lost FACEBUTT you know its over.
Anyway fire them.
We have 40 million unemployed, many of them patriots, who would take their jobs in a minute.
‘Platform’ or ‘Publisher’? You cannot be both...
Pick one, stupid employees. Both come with items you won’t be happy with either way.
You cannot ask for protection as a ‘platform’ (not responsible for what people say) and simultaneously censor speech you don’t agree with (like a publisher)
Zuckerberg could find out that Facebook functions perfectly without their “work” during their sickout and proceed to eliminate the entire department.
Too bad we can’t get these democrap idiots to hold “virtual” riots, too.
Just more dumb, childish, virtue signalling.
Reason #236 for me. Never have and never will.
Aww. Ain’t that special. Bless their hearts.
