How is the incentive structure anti-left? I suppose suspending Trump's account qualifies as "anti-left" these days. Zuckerberg openly stating he supported Black Lives Matter? Anti-left. Facebook deleting PragerU content for "hate speech" before getting reprimaneded? Anti-left. Zuckerberg personally assisting Pete Buttigieg around primary season? ANTI LEFT, I SAY! DIDN'T YOU HEAR HE SAT AT A DINNER TABLE WITH CONSERVATIVES? HE'S ANTI-LEFT! Both Conservatives and Liberals claim Facebook is biased towards the other side, so you're going to have to do a hell of a lot better, and produce some actual, bonafide evidence their "incentive structure is anti-left" besides witchhunting and saying one of their upper middle-managers is a hardcore republican. Care to let us know about the political leanings of Sheryl Sandberg and Chris Cox, who are actually in the C-Suite? Or would you prefer to cherry pick someone in upper middle management who is a staunch republican, which according to you seems to be some kind of heinous crime. Not to mention you're cherry-picking someone who reports to someone who reports to someone etc... who reports to Sheryl Sandberg (COO).

They are either liberal or conservative or they wouldn't be allowed in corporate management. Socialists and anarchists are antithetical to capitalism. Likewise, they have started banning far-right conservatives that are destabilizing to the system. Facebook's current allegiance is to pleasing the entrenched state apparatus so they won't get broken up.

The grandparent's example is a poor indicator of the political leaning of Facebook's executive team. VP of U.S. Public Policy is a euphemism for Head Lobbyist and now that the Democrats control both the Presidency and Congress, I would not be surprised if the current guy is fired and replaced with someone with deep ties to the Democrat party.
