#2>More than a dozen Facebook employees tweeted that they disagreed with Mr. Zuckerberg’s decision, including the head of design of Facebook’s portal product, Andrew Crow.
Tempest in a teapot.

#3Are they really? I read the NYT article and there were no names of anyone who is really coming forward. It could be happening, but if it's all just anonymous quotes how will we know?
I mean if this is important enough to protest, why not go on the record?

#4Why don't they revolt by quitting? I know not every employee is able to do that but I'm guessing that at Facebook the vast majority could switch job fairly easily.
Once Facebook realizes that they are losing good employees they are more likely to change those policies.
Unfortunately most Facebook employees want to continue getting outrageously paid at the 95 percentile of the market and soft "revolting" without risking their $$$. That tells a lot a bout their convictions.

Re: Facebook Employees Begin to Revolt
#7"Facebook employees are beginning to revolt" is not an acceptable title for a company of 50,000 when what you're really discussing is a small amount of employees speaking out, as well as expressing your own disagreement.
It's also very short-sighted to not realize that there are reasons to not remove certain content besides "we agree with and like the content".
All these "revolution" articles get very tiring when you realize how little they are actually reporting on, if anything

#8I find it humorous for employees of an evil ad company try to convince us they have a conscience.

#9Gruber’s not really adding much here to the original NYT reporting. I would suggest changing the URL for this submission to point directly to the article at the Times.

Leaving your position also leaves you without any power to enact change within the organization.
You can't win a game without playing it, in other words.
