In response to a question about Alex Stamos leaving: "So we’re going to double the amount of people working on security this year. We’ll have more than 20,000 people working on security and community operations by the end of the year, I think we have about 15,000 now. So it’s really the technical systems we have working with the people in our operations functions that make the biggest deal."
Huh? 20,000 people? This seems like a wildly misleading number. He's grouping security and "community operations" together, whatever that is. That must include masses of people doing manual video and ad reviews, or something like that. That has nothing to do with the question. It's like you asked the president about the Secret Service and he said "Between the Secret Service and US Army we have over a million people and that number is going up this year!"

It claimed it in a way as to suggest that they were Facebook employees. No way: they are employees of a very well known multinational contractor who are paid minimum wage salaries to spend all day reading and watching the worst humanity has to offer—without any formal psychological support or training.

- wepple 9y agoThere are rumors he’s considering going into politics. With non-sequitur answers coming as naturally as that, I think he’s nearly ready!
- overthemoon 9y agoHow is this even a security issue? This wasn't a "breach", right? This is just Facebook pleading with CA to not do naughty things with their data, and CA refusing.
