I wonder what % of Facebook employees actually keep up with this stuff, ie how many of them are regularly on HN, etc? Might be a lot lower than we assume.
EDIT: or even how many pay attention to tech news in the mainstream media, for that matter.

It's hard to miss when your company is making headline news around the globe with data scandals involving interfering with US elections.
It's damn hard to have not heard of Cambridge Analytica or possible Russian interference in the US election.
I've seen some internal memos with zuck reassuring the employees how much he cares, those memos aren't written in a vacuum, they are responses to things going on. Are you suggesting that Facebook employees don't read the internal memos sent to them or lack any critical thinking on why they are sent?
Oh I'm not suggesting they never hear anything. I'm just wondering how many actually care or look into it at all. The world is full of sensational stories. Sometimes it's easier to just do your job then go home and enjoy your weekends with your family.
Probably all of them with options pay good attention.
