Facebook lobbyists attempted to use partisan rancor to head off criticism in the wake of devastating whistleblower leaks, while half of the company's employees doubt it contributes to societal good, according to a new report.

After former Facebook employee Frances Haugen came forward in October with thousands of damaging internal documents, company lobbyists worked the phones furiously, calling Republican lawmakers and advocacy groups to accuse her of pushing a liberal agenda, according to a Wall Street Journal report on Wednesday.

Within days, similar claims began to appear in certain conservative-leaning publications, including articles calling Haugen 'the frontwoman of a PR campaign pushed by the Democratic party,' a 'leftist activist' and someone who is 'part of a broader Democratic initiative.'

People on the left have not figured out that they will eventually be canceled because there will always be someone further left than they are.

Meta/FB/Zuckerberg totally infringe on U.S. Constitutional 1st Amendment rights . While touting respect and promotion of privacy , they openly deprive any and all users of any sense of privacy , by the employment of AI algorithms to alert heartless, anonymous, lurking, censors; to barge into your own private , locked down , friends only, FB page and slam you for comments made to yourself , applying extremely punitive and lengthy bans for breaking their ‘community standards ‘. They should not be lurking there in the first place. But they are. Appeals processes are a joke and are always rejected , out-of-hand. Absolute , 100% , unacceptable censor processes are in effect , throughout their network.
