As reported by the newspaper The Wall Street Journal, several employees at the same time took time off and didn’t work from the remote mode (in which the 48-strong team Facebook works because of the epidemic COVID-19). The number of senior managers and engineers of the social network has placed a petition on the Internet criticizing the U.S. President, who called massively exposed across America demonstrators “bandits” and called for harsh suppression of the riots. According to them, the controversial publication of the three social networks only incite violence. Particular dissatisfaction in this case is expressed in the attitude of Zuckerberg, in every possible way evading from participation in the discussion about “destructive actions” trump in virtual space.
“I don’t know what to do, but I know not to do anything impermissible. I am an employee of Facebook, who fully shared the decision Mark is nothing to do about recent posts trump, openly inciting violence. And I’m not alone inside Facebook,” wrote design Manager of this social network Jason Stirman.
Recall that last week the President signed the Executive decree for the online industry in the USA. The document has weakened the legal protection of American IT companies that unreasonably restrict distributed on the Internet by users. Says the current President of the United States, thus “silenced” the conservative part of American society and its main electoral base. Recently Twitter was first flagged as “possibly inaccurate” messages of the trump.It is noteworthy that the head of Facebook mark Zuckerberg studiously distanced himself from deepening and increasingly politicized confrontation with the White house, stressing in this supposedly protected by freedom of speech.
However, the founder and head of Facebook still figured out how to stay away from surging across the US the unrest and to please “and yours, and ours”. So, by order of Zuckerberg, his social network will allocate 10 million dollars for the fight against racial discrimination in America. However, will this move to bring down the wave of discontent with his head among the employees of Facebook and to prevent looming layoffs, remains a big question.
