- Conservative Facebook employees are reportedly complaining internally about the company's "intolerant" liberal culture.
- According to The New York Times, more than 100 have joined the internal group "FB'ers for Political Diversity."
- Facebook has grappled with dissenting conservative employees before, and banned an anonymous group used by them in 2016.
More than 100 politically conservative Facebook employees have formed a new internal group to complain that the famously liberal company is "intolerant" of opposing political thought, according to a report from The New York Times on Tuesday.
The new group, "FB'ers for Political Diversity," was reportedly created in the last week, and came after senior Facebook engineer Brian Amerige wrote in an internal post viewable only by company employees that "we are a political monoculture that's intolerant of different views ... we claim to welcome all perspectives, but are quick to attack — often in mobs — anyone who presents a view that appears to be in opposition to left-leaning ideology."
