They are not "weirdly rogue political activist type employees". They are normal people reacting to the abnormality that is Facebook. I mean which tech company has ever produced the kind of polarization, fake news, Brexit and Trump type events all over the globe?

If Intel or IBM or AT&T had produced these type of outcomes you can bet your ass "weirdly rogue political activist type employees" wld suddenly start popping up all over the place.

Facebook will continue to be a highly abnormal place to work for anyone who isn't mildly conformist.

Intel and AT&T might not have provided a platform which some people used for political propaganda but they have done other much worse things (ME, proprietary software/firmware/etc, anti-net-neutrality, anti-competition, etc).
