Facebook whistleblower claims site contributed to Capitol riots by turning off online safeguards too soon after 2020 election - sparking furious response from embattled tech titan

Facebook executives are preparing for a whistleblower to accuse the network of contributing to the Capitol riot by turning online safeguards off too soon after the presidential election.

The whistleblower, whose identity has not been publicly revealed, is expected to make the fresh allegations and reveal her identity in a bombshell interview on CBS's 60 Minutes Sunday.

Facebook went into damage control Friday ahead of the interview sending a 1,500-word email to its employees attempting to prepare them for the allegations about to surface.

The email, from the company's Vice President of Policy and Global Affairs Nick Clegg and obtained by the New York Times, launched into a lengthy defense and slammed the accusations as 'misleading'.

The whistleblower has caused a headache for Facebook in recent weeks after quitting the firm and taking with her a trove of tens of thousands of pages of internal company documents.

Some of these secrets have already been leaked to the Wall Street Journal for a series of reports dubbed the 'Facebook Files' ...

They turned off the usual blocks and filters because they were trying to lure Trump supporters to become ensnared in the FBI school play on Jan 6

Remarkable how they keep this ruse going and going. Do you suppose 60 Minutes will show people fist bumping Capitol police? How about the video of Ashli Babbitt being murdered? Will 60 Minutes explore the FBI’s involvement?

Complete scam being perpetuated for political purposes to distract from the disaster that is the Biden administration.

The combination of the terms “whistleblower” and “60 minutes” tells you that you are about to be served a cr@p sandwich.

More pressure to get big tech to censor conservatives.

Agreed, majority of current news is staged. It is choreographed to aid black hats in their Great Reset, or white hats in their Great Awakening. The latter will win, if not already won.

One little aspect of this is in this article - so without much ado, without much circulation, how is it now dubbed "facebook files"? Seems to me the choreographers have predetermined what they want this called for us:

for a series of reports dubbed the 'Facebook Files' ...

Facebook has already been caught allowing Saint Greta’s dad and a woman he knows to post articles pretending to be her (a glitch exposed it) and allowing BLM and ANTIFA activity so this is no shock. The left have a habit born out of the book Rules for Radicals of always accusing us of their own crimes and always downplaying investigations into Democrats. I saw a video of LiberalHivemind on new criminal charges for Hillary Clinton’s team, and you can check it out top of page at Whatfinger News in crawler link. Durham may be taking his time, but they do say slow and steady wins the race. We shall see. Facebook was complicit in stealing the 2020 election and now with pushing mystery shots that make you sick as vaccines. They are evil and I avoid them like poison.

The combined alt-far-left-communists: democrats, MSM, social(ist) media, alphabet agencies (FBI, etc) and others, all working for China.

If true then NOT real cops. CINOs (Cops In Name Only). Thugs hired by the commie Dems.

Facial recognition software run on surveillance video proved known BLM and ANTIFA led the way while disguised as MAGA (hats, clothes). There is footage of them changing into and out of those clothes was posted online.

Note that this story is to promote the fable that Facebook hasn’t done enough to suppress conservative information on the platform. This is exactly opposite of what the meme and headlines attempt to convey.

Exactly.

The "whisleblower" is claiming the tools Facebook used to throw the election need to be permanent.
