Facebook is a company that never stood by small businesses. It's also the company that manipulated users into a free basic services just to create their own walled garden in the internet.

Still, sardonically they created two ad campaigns: Apple vs free internet and vs small businesses. Their whole marketing stunt was laughably wrong. No wonder their chief left the company.

"Chief of Advertising Integrity" does anyone take that title seriously? Forget advertising, Facebook and it's CEO himself has no integrity.

Facebook uses “Integrity” as a friendly synonym for abuse / spam / illegal activity.

For example, it avoids them actively having to say they have a “fake accounts team” (which would in turn indicate they have a fake accounts problem). Instead it’s part of the “Community Integrity team”.

From Twitter:

> After almost 4 years, I made the difficult decision to leave Facebook, and 12/30/20 was my last day at FB. I've had a great experience in a difficult, fun, fast-growing and impactful role at the company working with amazing people

From internet:

> At Facebook, RSUs are subject to a 4-year vesting schedule: 25% vests in the 1st year (5% every 2.4 months), then 25% in each of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th years (6.25% every 3 months)

I guess good for him to enjoy his wealth now. I wish him good health.

So it's a form of doublespeak?

So if the Chief of Advertising Integrity leaves the company it might be a good thing? As in they no longer have integrity issues?

Gotta love these headlines /s
