Title:

> Dissent Erupts at Facebook Over Hands-Off Stance on Political Ads

From the article:

> More than 250 employees have signed the message

Facebook has >35,000 employees. 250 signees is <0.7% of employees. Hardly seems like an "eruption" of dissent.

The article does acknowledge this:

> While the number of signatures on the letter was a fraction of Facebook’s 35,000-plus work force...

So why use such a misleading title? "A tiny fraction of company employees does not like company policies" is a statement you can make about every sizable company.
