Early Facebook Employees Disavow Zuckerberg’s Stance on Trump Posts

In an open letter, nearly three dozen called on the chief executive to take action on President Trump’s messages. The former employees said in an open letter that Mr. Zuckerberg’s position was a “betrayal” of Facebook’s ideals and urged him to reconsider it. They included Facebook’s first chief of communications, as well as designers, engineers and policy executives. Some had helped write the social network’s original community guidelines, which govern what can and cannot be posted.
