Can you elaborate? I don't recall ever seeing anything of the sort while I worked there.
I'm actually encouraged to hear others have had a different experience there. But there's plenty of stupid crap I've seen go down as well, much like other large companies. For not everything rises to the level of public discussion rather it becomes yet another papercut leading to the decision to depart.
I've been at FB for almost a decade and have never seen anything that even remotely looked like what you are describing.
