Facebook software engineer Ashok Chandwaney has watched with growing unease as the platform has become a haven for hate. On Tuesday morning, it came time to take a stand.
Im quitting because I can no longer stomach contributing to an organization that is profiting off hate in the US and globally, Chandwaney wrote in a letter posted on Facebooks internal employee network shortly after 8 a.m. Pacific time. The nearly 1,300-word document was detailed, bristling with links to bolster its claims and scathing in its conclusions.
We dont benefit from hate," Facebook spokeswoman Liz Bourgeois said. We invest billions of dollars each year to keep our community safe and are in deep partnership with outside experts to review and update our policies. This summer we launched an industry leading policy to go after QAnon, grew our fact-checking program, and removed millions of posts tied to hate organizations over 96% of which we found before anyone reported them to us.
*** Chandwaney, 28, who is gender non-binary and uses they and them as pronouns, described Facebook as a genial, supportive workplace but said they realized over time that the companys leadership was focused on profits over promoting social good. The company has done too little to combat the rise on the platform of racism, disinformation and incitements to violence, Chandwaney said.
Chandwaney specifically cited the companys role in fueling genocide in Myanmar and, more recently, violence in Kenosha, Wis. Facebook did not remove a militia groups event encouraging people to bring guns to protests ahead of fatal shootings last month despite hundreds of complaints, in what Zuckerberg called an operational mistake.

Dang, you think?
Best wishes to the young person in its future life, and all that.
Some whiny queer rage quit Facebook. This is covered by the media outlet that once forced a President to resign.
Please ping me with this queer’s picture!
Non binary..not definitely male and not definetly female. My dog is a binary..she knows that she is definitely a female and is totally unconfused on this.
Having said that if this guy wants to be non-binary that’s okay with me and he has a lot of credibility with young people as he criticizes Facebook and that’s a win-win
She this he/she or she/he quits because Zuckerberg’s leftist cesspool is not fringe enough. This little creep needs to be on a watch list.

Auntie Fascists post Guillotine 2020 memes all day long and champion the murder of Trump supporters. Fek Fakebook.
P or Vag...pretty simple huh?
Next thing they’ll tell us is that we don’t have 2 eyes, a nose, two ears...
If these crazy people weren’t so scary, this would all be funny. It’s like the Teletubbies on meth, with guns, knives, bombs.... I’m screaming and laughing in terror as they chase me around the nation...
I’m a gun bearing person....
He’s not gay...and who cares anyways he’s making some very good anti Facebook comments and that’s a win

No mention that the Communists were chasing a 17 year old boy and shooting at him with a gun before he returned fire in self-defense.
Oh!! For a moment I thought he was on the right side, lol. This dufus is saying Facebook isn’t doing enough to stifle the lefts opposition. He shove it up his non-binary whatever...
Gender non binary....
Uh, that’s DAMN GAY.

I think it has something to do with the Dewey Decimal System.
