I have seen the video (or parts of it) and it's hard to imagine how he could not be considered guilty. On the other hand, determining the innocence or guilt of a person based on videos from vigilante groups who have a huge incentive to produce dramatic videos makes me incredibly, incredibly uncomfortable.

#12The article tries to make the story all about Facebook, when it basically just boils down to the fact that a (alleged, there is still due process required) pervert worked there. They didn't know about him, they weren't harboring him or anything, it's just a low level employee doing something inappropriate.
The head of global community development is a low level employee?

> The head of global community development
The article says "a head", not "the head", and refers to him as "manager of global community development".
Of course I can't confirm this, but on one of the big Reddit threads on this topic an anonymous user claimed to be a Meta employee and looked this fella up, he managed 10 people. Just a low level people manager.

#14Nice screening process for the company that knows everything about you.
I keep seeing this criticism and I don't get it. Presumably no one knew about his proclivities - not his parents, not his best friend, not his wife (if he had one), no one. It's obviously a very secretive part of his life and it's unreasonable to expect an employer to somehow know this about him.
Meta employes 60,000 people according to a quick google search. I promise you there are plenty of Meta employees who have hobbies and interests the employer doesn't know about.

I glanced through a cache of his twitter account. I would expect important industry leaders with twitter accounts would have larger following. I don't think this was a high level roll like the article described.

I’m amazed how stupid he is for not shutting up and walking out the door.

true but its not exactly the first time : https://www.polygon.com/2016/12/27/14088862/cops-arrest-ocul...
FB has 72000 employees and many more former employees, so if this was the first time it would be miracle.

> doing something inappropriate
Accused of something inappropriate, but summarily fired anyway.
