Facebook fired an employee who protested the social network’s hands-off approach to President Donald Trump’s controversial posts after he publicly called out another employee’s „inaction“ in a tweet.
Brandon Dail, who worked as an engineer at Facebook in Seattle, said in a tweet on Friday that he lost his job after he asked another employee to add a Black Lives Matter banner to a website about a tool built by Facebook. Dail said the employee refused because he didn’t want to get political.
In the public tweet posted on June 2, Dail mentions the employee by name and said that „intentionally not making a statement is already political.
