Remove him/her.
Under no circumstance would I allow anyone at my company to abuse their power, and abuse other people.
As long as you have very clear evidence of his/her gross miss conduct, then I would terminate your contract.
Nail. Head. You hit it.
Of course publishers will still show adverts...but if your main source of revenue drops 50% overnight - that's going to be a huge problem for a number of content creators...which is what Facebook are warning against.
Most of FB's revenue is direct inventory sold - so this won't be too much of an impact on their owned and operated inventory - but as I say, it's publishers who rely on Facebook's targeting to generate high eCPMs to efficiently monetize their audience that will suffer most.
So it appears the author has no idea what a mobile advertising network is/does...
FB aren’t wrong to highlight that this will have a detrimental impact for many thousands of publishers who offer content for free, due to the fact they run an ad supported model.
Let’s see how it plays out...
Having been at the helm of a (nowhere near as big) social->turned anti social network I can relate to elements of the complexity around running 4Chan.
Excited to see what's next.
Candy Crush, Dropbox and 4 pics 1 word are three incredibly well thought of applications which have provided entertainment and practicality (in Dropbox's case) to millions of people around the world.
So, saying they are 'some of the worst' applications on the iOS App Store couldn't really be further from the truth. In fact, many would argue these are three of the best applications app consumers have ever seen.

We are wired for negativity. You won't be alone.
Great job - it's great to see someone really detailing things.
Using Facebook's own PPC channels we are getting fraudulent clicks and fake profiles come via Facebook as a legitimate cost.
'Fraudulent' being the most important word.
However, that's not been my experience in previous businesses. You can create the worlds best product but if no one knows it exists, why build it.
I view the methods I use as a delivery medium to put information which adds value to the individuals who read it.
If I do that, then I can start to develop a personal relationship with them.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, this post has certainly created some interesting polarising views. I appreciate your comment.
This has worked for me and it's down to the individual to decide how aggressive you want to be.
I'll let you know how far I go...or when I fall.
Thanks so much for reading.
I've never been reported or blocked. With FB, a lot of what I did was in-conjunction with a contact at FB. Twitter is the only slightly more dodgy one but even then, I've never had any issues.
