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.”

    MAJOR JOB KILLER! Sorry, not on my watch. Saudi Arabia has plenty of room for you.

    We're putting the regulation industry out of work. And out of business. And by the way, I want regulation. I want to protect our environment. I want regulations for safety. I want all of the regulations that we need and I want them to be so strong and so tough. But we don't need 75%, maybe more, of the repetitive, horrible regulations that hurt companies, hurt jobs. We're cutting regulations massively for small business -- and for large business. There will be regulation, there will be control, but it will be a NORMALIZED control where you can open your business and expand your business very easily.
