I’ve disagreed plenty with Alex, but unlike those Facebook executives who are (still) in hiding, he was out there advocating for what he thought was the right path forward. And I can attest that he was always concerned about what Facebook policies meant in authoritarian contexts.

His departure is a real loss especially as they may well replace him with someone who will not be so loud and outspoken, internally or externally. Its not that a single person can change everything. It’s what inability to keep an outspoken person signals for the future.

If things are bad now, wait and see what happens when they replace Alex with someone more pliable. I guess it was bound to happen. Facebook needs to have security people oversee product, not the other way around.https://twitter.com/chrismlizama/status/975874060130365440?s=21 …

It will be interesting to watch if Facebook can keep Stamos. The reporting was that he left his last job at Yahoo after objecting to excessive government surveillance. You’d think Facebook would prioritize security and trust after all this.

Seems inevitable to me that at some point a security engineer will try to implement a security upgrade but get shot down because now they report to product/engineering, who only want to ship features.
