The twitter thread has a few of the source documents, and a few things not mentioned in the story, this particular e-mail seems... interesting: https://twitter.com/ashk4n/status/1099146500725063680 https://twitter.com/ashk4n/status/1099146500725063680 Also, that twitter user is a former senior leader at the FTC, and claims something here to be "textbook @ftc deception": https://twitter.com/ashk4n/status/1099164648379580416 https://twitter.com/ashk4n/status/1099164648379580416

  Serious question -- how does Facebook keep getting hit with these 5+ year-old emails getting published? Did they not have any email retention policy? Is the root cause that they migrated off of email and did all their sensitive discussions in "internal tools" with no actual data retention enforcement? If so, that seems quite ironic.

    Many people keep copies of emails. Perhaps they feel compelled to make the information public, and maybe they felt more compelled once they received their RSUs and cashed them in. "Most full-time employees receive RSUs (restricted stock units) which are shares that become sellable on a set schedule over four years.

    Most of the recent documents have become public because of a court case.
