Uh, she certainly 100% would have fb suing the bejeezus out of her if not for whistleblower protection laws. We’ll see if they do anyway.
- SideburnsOfDoom 5y agoAgreed. The act of "whistleblowing" is not defined by the punishment. Which could still come. The other argument is that "little Haugen is telling us that we do not already know". Well, I had no surprise whatsoever that Facebook was doing this, but that is not the same thing as evidence from the inside of what they were doing. Article is junk, consider the possible motives for casting doubt on the whistle-blower.
