The Washington Post reports:
A new whistleblower affidavit submitted by a former Facebook employee Friday alleges that the company prizes growth and profits over combating hate speech, misinformation and other threats to the public, according to a copy of the document obtained by The Washington Post.
The whistleblower told The Post of an occasion in which Facebook’s Public Policy team, led by former Bush administration official Joel Kaplan, defended a “white list” that exempted Trump-aligned Breitbart News, run then by former White House strategist Stephen K. Bannon, and other select publishers from Facebook’s ordinary rules against spreading false news reports.
When a person in the video conference questioned this policy, Kaplan, the vice president of global policy, responded by saying, “Do you want to start a fight with Steve Bannon?” according to the whistleblower in The Post interview.
Read the full article. In a statement to the Post, Kaplan claims that no such whitelist has ever existed at Facebook.
Facebook official about the controversy re Russian election interference: “It will be a flash in the pan. Some legislators will get pissy… in a few weeks they will move onto something else. Meanwhile we are printing money in the basement, & we are fine.” https://t.co/daLVR8V10s
