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.”

    I think there was this dude called Jesus... And many Americans claim to be Christians. I'm more Christian than them and I'm a card-carrying heathen atheist devil worshiping lefty.

    I'm sorry, you seem to be not following the correct "Jesus". Americans follow the NRA approved "Second Amendment Jesus", for great justice, and negligent discharge.

    Those motherfuckers wouldn't recognize Jesus if he smacked them across their faces and left a giant angry red handprint with a size 98 nail hole in it. I, like you, am a nonbeliever (though a Deist rather than an atheist) and am doing Christianity-according-to-Jesus better than them. But there are things living under rocks that do Christianity-according-to-Jesus better than them, so... *shrug*
