Current FB employee here (throwaway for obvious reasons.) Currently that rating (that FB is doing a good job + leadership is good) is hovering at around the 30s (edit: for my relatively large team; company-wide it is 50.). It tanked hard in 2020 due to the George Floyd "looting shooting" post incident and the 2020 elections, and hasn't really recovered since. A lot of people have left the company since (that being said a lot of people joined too.)

Save for a few "hail zuck" people, I believe most people here are self aware and want to actually fix the issues on hand. However due to it being a large company it either moves at a glacier's pace and it takes a while to get solutions approved by higher ups, or just gets canned entirely / deprioritized because "user research shows they don't want (insert solution here)"

Sorry, my mistake. That was my team's pulse results. Company-wide it's at 50% as you predicted.

Yes, one example: since COVID and moving fully remote, the weekly Q&A sessions have just become scripted videos. Mostly with vague nothing-words such as "we are aware of this problem and are working on it". I've stopped attending those since.

Current employee (throwaway). No matter what FB does it will get flak from both sides, because the left-leaning believe Facebook is too right-leaning, and the right-leaning believe Facebook is too left-leaning.

For instance. Facebook recently announced that their ban on Trump will last 2 years after which they will undergo review again for an unban or extended ban. Left-leaning people argued that 2 years for a political figure is too short and politically motivated since most other accounts have been permanently banned for much less (e.g. showing nipples.) Right-leaning people argued that he should not have been banned at all and this ban is another attempt at "censorship".

Facebook is a large company so there is a relatively diverse set of views. It's not possible to please everyone. Different people perceive different things as "truth" at which point we have to get philosophical about what is right to ban, but as Sophie said there's immediate things that are "objectively wrong" so those are the easiest to tackle first (and what FB employees are working on.)

People are blaming the Rohingya genocide on FB for doing nothing to stop it. Evidence shows that aggressive hate speech leads to acts of violence. Where do you draw the line?
