Zuckerberg has been holding weekly participatory meetings with Facebook employees for over 10 years. Casey Newton, a reporter from technology media The Verge, gets Zackerberg's voice data recorded in two meetings in July and answers Zerberg's remarks from employees. did.

Employee questions about some politicians, including Elizabeth Warren, who has announced that he is running for the 2020 US presidential election, claiming that big companies like Facebook should be demolished Zuckerberg said, “If Mr. Warren is elected president, we are confident that we will receive a legal challenge and win it. But that ’s not good. I don't want to face a lawsuit. ' In addition, CEO Zuckerberg claims that dismantling giant technology companies such as Facebook, Google, and Amazon will not solve the problem. In addition, you can hear the audio with the relevant part extracted from The Verge site.



In recent years, society's eyes on Facebook are becoming stricter, and it seems that many questions asked by employees were related to Facebook's future and Zuckerberg's response. As Zuckerberg refused to testify in Congress outside the United States, “I do n’t want to go to all the hearings around the world. Many people want it, I attended a hearing in the United States on the issue of Cambridge Analytica and testified in the EU, and it makes no sense to attend a hearing in every country where I want my testimony. ' The



Also, in 2019, a report that “

moderators who monitor Facebook content are in a poor working environment ” became a hot topic, and employees also asked questions about this. Zuckerberg said in a series of reports, “I think some reports are a bit too radical,” noting that all moderators are always showing bad content. On the other hand, it is very important that moderators sometimes recognize that there are cases where terrible content must be dealt with and that workers receive proper counseling, rest and provide the necessary mental health support. Said.



Besides, Zuckerberg CEO said, `` The amount of money Facebook invests for safety is more than Twitter's total income '' and invites employees to laugh, etc. It tells about the sense of temperature with employees.

In addition, Zuckerberg CEO himself touches on the voice data released by The Verge this time with a link. “I do a question-and-answer session on Facebook every week and ask employees what they do, and share openly about projects and issues.” “It was not originally intended to be public, but it was already public Those who are obsessed and interested in my thoughts that are not filtered can check the content, 'commented Zuckerberg.


CEO Zuckerberg seems to be not particularly damaged, but Vox of the overseas media points out that “the important thing is not the leaked content, but the fact that it was leaked”. Zuckerberg, the CEO who had held all-employee meetings for more than 10 years, has so far leaked much of what was spoken at meetings.

Considering the interests of Facebook from the outside world and the number of employees participating in the meeting, it is surprising that the content has not been leaked over the years, even if there is a policy that does not disclose secrets. Reporter Peter Kafka argues.

According to an article in 2017 , Facebook has created an open internal culture, but there is a solid agreement on information leakage, and new employees have received media training to `` leak internal information. If you do, you may be fired. ' Also, Zuckerberg CEO himself regularly reminds him that the weekly Q & A meeting is not open to the public.

In addition, a great deterrent is the sense of shame that Facebook employees have. Employees mention pressure from colleagues as an important motivation to keep secrets. “If someone leaks information on Facebook, people will get angry,” “You can't betray your family,” says a former Facebook employee.

Kafka points out that this leak of voice data is worth noting as a rare leak from Facebook, which has a strong culture of protecting internal secrets. Given that the number of Facebook employees is close to 40,000, it can be expected that someday someone will leak information, but the fact that it was still leaked is important.

Mr. Kafka asked Newton about the source of the voice data leak, but of course Newton declined to comment. There is almost no possibility that the leaked person will appear, but according to sources, one of the audio data released by The Verge was recorded at an event aimed at interns. Kafka said that the person who leaked from this point was not a full-time employee, but could be an intern.
