hi @AdrienneLaF, I worry enough Facebook press didn't read your cover story yet -> Facebook needs to be treated like a "hostile foreign power." They're playing directly into Facebook's PR strategic response undermining a whistleblower risking it all. /1

with respect, I don't agree at all with allowing Clegg on Sunday morning shows. It is the equivalent of giving the head of PR at Brown and Williamson airtime the morning of Jeffrey Wigand's whistleblowing on 60 Minutes. If I was the whistleblower, I would be irate at this. /2

Meanwhile, another national news outlet just republished an internal memo written by Facebook PR broadly characterizing to FB employees what to expect on 60 Minutes tomorrow night. Do we not think that is exactly what Facebook wanted? Andrew Bosworth Lord of Rings memo 2.0 /3

ok, I'm not naming specific outlets as I know their judgement is whether it's newsworthy - let the audience decide. And many other outlets would likely do the same. I'm just weighing in I think you're underestimating the machine against the whistleblower and our institutions. /3

Here is a thread for you. If you can explain all 17 of these tweets then you may be ready to take on Facebook as a hostile foreign power. If not then I would tread lightly in giving them op-ed space or airtime. Let's be grateful for this whistleblower. /4
