In the last few weeks, we’ve found out that @Facebook:

- Pays The Daily Caller, who has employed white supremacists like Jason Kessler (Unite the Right), as fact-checkers despite the organization not meeting the standards for their actual fact checking org @factchecknet.

1/
- Has had Tucker Carlson (owner of Daily Caller), who has said immigrants make our country “poorer and dirtier”, over time their CEO’s home for dinner to discuss potential partnerships and collaborations.

2/
- Has given Breitbart, featuring articles like “There’s No Hiring Bias Against Women in Tech, They Just Suck In Interviews” and preciously had a “Black Crime” tag for articles, as a “trusted” news source in their new News Feed.

What is happening here? Why does @facebook insist on giving money to organizations and people with well-documented histories of pushing bigotry and hate?

Many employees of @facebook come from diverse backgrounds. How does this make sense for them?
