According to Facebook employees who spoke with the New York Times, staffers are also urging the company to hunt down the leakers who released the Bosworth memo.
If the report is accurate, the deletion of internal communications could have legal implications, including in an ongoing Federal Trade Commission investigation into the company’s data-handling practices. Destruction of internal documents was a partial focus of the FTC’s recent investigation of Volkswagen.
Bosworth’s memo continued catastrophic PR fallout following findings that the Facebook data of as many as 50 million users was wrongly harvested by the election consulting firm Cambridge Analytica. In the memo leaked Thursday, Bosworth wrote that “connecting people” should be the company’s driving goal, even if “it costs someone a life by exposing someone to bullies” or “someone dies in a terrorist attack coordinated on our tools.”

“Connecting people” should be Tor's driving goal, even if “it costs someone a life by exposing someone to anonymous bullies”.
Strong encryption should be encouraged, even if “someone dies in a terrorist attack carried out by participants whose identities are protected by encryption."
etc.

But I see Tor as a tool which should have a Facebook-like app running on top of it, to 'connect people'. It enables the connection, the way I see it.
