I am ashamed of the ad policy decisions that Facebook has made lately, notably allowing misleading and false political ads. All previous scandals could be attributed to incompetence rather than malice, but nothing has been so egregiously asserted.

I am struggling to reconcile my feelings into something constructive, but many have asked me to be more vocal, and I feel I have an obligation to be. Speaking out publicly is the first step, although it is still the bare minimum.

If you're a Facebook employee on Twitter then you shouldn't be ashamed to express your opinion (whether you agree or oppose). Yes, silence is an implicit approval.

Sorry but I have to disagree with you here. Silence isn't approval. You can't assume everyone will be comfortable sharing certain opinions in places like Twitter, even if we defend that everyone should have the right to do it.

If you don’t speak out against actions of your employee, then yes, to many it is an implicit approval. No it’s not fair, or always accurate. If you aren’t comfortable then you should just be aware of that assumption.
