The head of global community development is a low level employee?
Probably, in much the same way as a vice president is a low level employee at Goldman Sachs. "Global community development" sounds to me like a team that was named to sound impressive, not a team that actually determines Facebook's global priorities.

#63The 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.
He literally admits to it on the video.
Admitted, not alleged. Leave due process to the courts.

Banking is a bad example. Anyone with 2+ years of experience gets a VP title.

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.

Is there any large company without bad people? There was a guy on my floor that was fired when he was busted by the police for child porn. I didn’t know him, but I have to assume he isn’t the only one at a company with tens of thousands of employees.

#68Nice screening process for the company that knows everything about you.

So what do you want, Facebook to hire dicks to investigate employees?
In case the downvotes are for language, "dick" is also slang for a detective, sometimes specifically a private investigator[0], which I infer the parent intended in their usage. Which isn't to say it's never been used in a double entendre with its more common meaning. See, for instance, the theme to Shaft[1].

#70anyone have more info on the group that makes these videos ? seems like they make decoy accounts and pretend to be underage targets but would like to learn more about their process: are they legit or would it be equivalent to police entrapment ?
Fun fact: 99% of the people who think something is entrapment have no idea what "entrapment" means. If the cops leave a car running with the keys in it, and you steal it, that's not entrapment. If someone says in a forum "hey I'm 13 and I like dinosaurs" and you start messaging them about touching peepees and such: not entrapment. The cases involving entrapment and terrorism charges, for example, have been largely bu…
The entrapment aspect is always left out of the shows/documentaries/news. The media reports only about what the perp did...showing zero FBI context.
Despite them doing this to criminals, I find it disgusting. Rarely mentioned are the innocent lives they trash in the process.
