Why do we even use the word "delete" in this forum? We know that (so far) it is NOT deleting anything. It only means "hide from view". Facebook will not forget and will not forgive. Some 10-hour-question-avoiding in front of a committee (irrespective of importance) will not change FB's business model (aka money-maker) overnight.

That's not the sort of thing you can hide. One disgruntled employee would cost FB 100s millions over-night by just reporting it to someone.

Hm. Interesting. How about a 'leak bounty'? Or would that be problematic in the eyes of the law?

I'd happily put down $50 for whoever spilled the beans on what is really going on at Facebook and other companies in that vein.

The SEC does something like that already:

Nice. Pity they put a lower bound in but I can see why they would do that. Too many small investigations would eat up their time.
