FB 2016 memo

A Facebook memo written in 2016 by Facebook VP, Andrew Bosworth said, “Maybe someone dies in a terrorist attack coordinated on our tools.And still we connect people. The ugly truth is that we believe in connecting people so deeply that anything that allows us to connect more people more often is “de facto” good.”

Facebook employees are deleting potentially controversial comments and messages from the company’s internal communication systems, after the leak of a 2016 memo. After the widespread concern over the company’s Cambridge Analytica data-sharing scandal has now apparently transformed into a sort of panic over possible further leaks of potentially damaging internal information, while some staff are demanding greater transparency, others have turned to shredding emails and demanding leakers be found and dealt with.
