That is the purpose of this question. Google engineers are frequently in the news for protesting company policies, which results in actual company changes, but there is never anything from Facebook. I am trying to get a broad sample of thoughts on current and former Facebook employees so I can understand if it is due to company culture, the hiring process selects for likeminded people, or if there are disagreements but no one airs their dirty laundry.

- jlaws 6y agoThanks for sharing these. It is still surprising to see only ~250 employees out of ~45,000 signing the letter about politicians to posting advertisements on the platform that include false claims. My original questions still stand for the remaining 44,500+ employees
- gregjor 6y agoYou’ll have to ask them. Why isn’t the entire US adult population marching in Minneapolis today? What would you learn from compiling that data?
