Mark Zuckerberg Declared That Facebook Is At War

Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s co-founder, in a meeting of about 50 top execs, announced that the world’s largest social media site was at the war and he would run the company more aggressively.

The CEO believed that Facebook’s key personnel had failed to act quickly enough to deal this year’s crisis and urged them to “make progress faster”.

This declaration was out when Facebook users, investors, and lawmakers have not been over the Cambridge Analytica scandal yet and the social network is still under fire for the less-than-transparent way in which it handled these issues.

He also expressed his anger at how the company replied to criticism centered on it this year.

His aggressive approach resulted in the departure of several top execs, including WhatsApp and Instagram’s co-founders. It is also the newest source of tension between him and his COO Sheryl Sandberg.

This is not the end of Facebook’s turmoils for 2018. Last week, The New York Times detailed another scandal with Ms. Sandberg under the fire for involving in a lobbying campaign in an attempt to shift the public attention away from the company’s recent scandals.

What Ms. Sandberg did, according to the Times, was to hire a research company, which is believed to be Republican-opposite, to harm the reputation of the protesters by dragging George Soros into the mess.

The Times’s findings do not stop there. The article also revealed that Facebook had attempted to pull some strings and made a Jewish civil rights group to criticize the company and accused it of being anti-Semitic.

Two days after the report was out, Mark Zuckerberg denied what the media talked about the scandals in a meeting with the company’s employees in Palo Alto.

Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg are still with the company even though several high-ranking exes including Alex Stamos decided to leave after some unsolved disputes over Facebook’s next steps.

Mr. Zuckerberg, who holds the power of appointing many director positions in Facebook, has been asked repeatedly whether he should resign.
