Alex Stamos is a big part of the problem.

The excellent and thorough NYT piece eviscerates FB leadership for employing the same sleazy disinformation tactics to defend themselves that FB failed to stop when weaponized by political actors.

Stamos has the gall to deflect Facebook's culpability by blaming responsible media outlets for getting compromised by the very disinfo that Stamos himself utterly failed to detect or stop during his tenure.

It's beyond irony or satire, it's fucking ridiculous that this guy still has a platform.

"Delay, Deny and Deflect" indeed.

Yeah, I applaud his early efforts at uncovering some of this, but why didn't he do more? He should have taken his concerns to leadership sooner, pushed for more action, and notified authorities that a foreign entity was infiltrating the information pipeline. There's a new theme is all of this. It's not "too big to fail." Now, it's "too big to care."
