Why don't Facebook engineers quit over Zuckerberg's stance on fake news and hate speech? Is it the money? Do they actually agree with the policies? I really want to understand the thought process of people that actually work there and unfortunately (or fortunately) no one I know works at Facebook.
Do you know how many people work at Facebook? Do you think they all share the same moral and political views? Your question seems to expect an answer that applies to all FB engineers. You could just as well ask why everyone isn't vegan.<p>Some people have quit. Some maybe agree. Most probably need the job. You would have to sample a representative number of FB engineers to get any kind of meaningful answer. Anecdotes and speculation aren't worth anything.
Any engineers that had morals would've already quit long ago. In the grand scheme of things, what Facebook is currently accused of is tame compared to the stalking and privacy violations they've been doing for over a decade now.
Right, vote with our feet. How about we stop using Facebook? Be that person that who tells friends to do the same.<p>I think people have their own reasons for doing what they do that isn't so clear cut. I wouldn't want to work at FB but wouldn't rule it out exclusively for a stint. I did work in retail Forex which is like selling lottery tickets, or casino entertainment games, or sports betting. People have to do something with their time.
