Facebook Inc. employees repeatedly chafed at what they viewed as anti-competitive or unethical practices by the company, internal chats show.

But their concerns, voiced in 2012 and 2013, were overruled by senior managers including Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg, who argued that the survival of the social network was more important.that were part of a years-old lawsuit in the Bay Area’s San Mateo County. The interactions are likely to be scrutinized further as Facebook faces ongoing antitrust investigations.

Zuckerberg, in a November 2012 email, justified the decision to not provide services to competitors. Facebook software that helped app developers increase sharing “may be good for the world but it’s not good for us unless people also share back to Facebook and that content increases the value of our network,” Zuckerberg wrote. In later messages, Zuckerberg also argued against giving competing companies access to other Facebook services.Some employees bristled at the decisions.

Break up this company

If FB hadn't pissed off democrats by refusing to censor, you wouldn't be hearing about this. Which is why you are just hearing about this old news now.

Just like the WH staff- horrified by POTUS’s criminality- but couldn’t/can’t bring themselves to find a spine and stand up publicly. Where is my violin?

Let's not forget the unethical practices of his barber.

Lamented? You don’t lament unethical practices, you stop them.

In the court of public opinion, this could give Facebook an easy path to redemption - listen to your employees, make a splash of it, and turn over your leaves🍁

Zuckerberg is gross.

Facebook needs to go the way of MySpace.
