Conservative Facebook Employees Plan An Attack On 'Intolerant' Culture

Description

REUTERS/Leah Milli Conservative Facebook employees are reportedly complaining internally about the company's "intolerant" liberal culture. According to The New York Times, more than 100 have joined the internal group "FB'ers for Political Diversity." Facebook has grappled with dissenting conservative employees before, and banned an anonymous group used by them in 2016. Amerige and Facebook did not immediately respond to Business Insider's requests for comment. In July 2017, Google found itself at the centre of a political firestorm after engineer James Damore wrote an internal post decrying what he characterised as "Google's Ideological Echo Chamber," in which he attacked the company's diversity efforts.

Twitter and Facebook banned Trump indefinitely, and Stripe is no longer processing credit card payments for his campaign. Shopify stopped operating online stores for the Trump Organization and the campaign and the PGA is pulling a major golf tournament from a Trump resort.
