Facebook staff have revolted over the company’s decision to allow US president Donald Trump’s highly inflammatory and dangerous posts to remain on the platform, with a virtual walkout staged and some employees quitting the company.
Last week, Twitter moved to fact-check posts made by Trump on the platform, and hid another post from view for violating its rules.

The post was still left online due to the public interest, but it was hidden behind a message explaining it was glorifying violence, and interaction was restricted.
This led to Trump issuing an executive order threatening to remove the legal protections currently provided to social media companies.

These same posts were made by Trump on Facebook, with the company refusing to take any action on them.
The social media giant’s founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that social media companies “shouldn’t be the arbiters of truth of everything that people say online”.

“I’ve been struggling with how to respond to the president’s tweets and posts all day,” Zuckerberg posted last week.
“Personally, I have a visceral negative reaction to this kind of divisive and inflammatory rhetoric, [but] our position is that we should enable as much expression as possible unless it will cause imminent risk of specific harms or dangers spelled in clear policies.”

CEO are under no pressure to bow to employee demands. You are free to quit at any time, although I don't think Facebook has to search too hard for tech talent.

Would recommend "learn to code", but they worked for a tech giant so they can probably code.
Maybe they can start a social network called mysafespace.com

F off snowflakes. The more of you quitting, the better. While you are at it, maybe consider suicide, it's for the kids.
