As the FB employee in this thread commented - this person vilified others and was fired for that, not his attempts to "bring down the man". Large scale platforms like this are hard to manage. I can see many cases where people doing their best can be misconstrued as an evil conspiracy. Eg. - Users and companies with large fan bases are open to brigading. Previously companies have been taken off the platform suddenly because of militant FB groups. - A new rule is instituted "anyone with more than X followers get Tier-1 support in reviewing and reinstating their account following a take down." - Engineer on some team mildly close to the team who runs the takedown/reinstatement systems sees that a Right Wing commentator is getting Tier-1 support and fast turn around reinstatement. - Said engineer tries to vilify the people who wrote the policy and those who are carrying it out, tries to go public with a conspiracy that "FB is prioritizing reinstating Right Wing users". Instead they've really just lost the trust of their peers, failed to understand the space properly, and now brought their employer into disrepute - they should be fired. This stuff happens all the time, and is usually just chalked up to "its a hard problem to get right, and we're trying to get better every day". When people over react and make out like Zuck is pulling strings to rule the universe i have a hard time understanding when he sleeps.
