Sophie Zhang, a former Facebook employee, in Fremont, Calif.
Whistleblower Zhang detected networks of fake accounts supporting political leaders around the world.
Shortly before Sophie Zhang lost access to FacebookÕs systems, she published one final message on the companyÕs internal forum, a farewell tradition at Facebook known as a Òbadge postÓ.

ÒOfficially, IÕm a low-level [data scientist] whoÕs being fired today for poor performance,Ó the post began. ÒIn practice, in the 2.5 years IÕve spent at Facebook, IÕve É found multiple blatant attempts by foreign national governments to abuse our platform on vast scales to mislead their own citizenry, and caused international news on multiple occasions.Ó

Over the course of 7,800 scathing words, Zhang outlined FacebookÕs failure to combat political manipulation campaigns akin to what Russia had done in the 2016 US election. ÒWe simply didnÕt care enough to stop them,Ó she wrote. ÒI know that I have blood on my hands by now.Ó

How Facebook let fake engagement distort global politics: a whistleblower's account. Sophie Zhang detected networks of fake accounts supporting political leaders around the world. The inside story of Sophie Zhang’s battle to combat rampant manipulation a
Sophie Zhang, a former Facebook employee, in Fremont, Calif.
Whistleblower Zhang detected networks of fake accounts supporting political leaders around the world.
Shortly before Sophie Zhang lost access to FacebookÕs systems, she published one final message on the companyÕs internal forum, a farewell tradition at Facebook known as a Òbadge postÓ.

ÒOfficially, IÕm a low-level [data scientist] whoÕs being fired today for poor performance,Ó the post began. ÒIn practice, in the 2.5 years IÕve spent at Facebook, IÕve É found multiple blatant attempts by foreign national governments to abuse our platform on vast scales to mislead their own citizenry, and caused international news on multiple occasions.Ó

Over the course of 7,800 scathing words, Zhang outlined FacebookÕs failure to combat political manipulation campaigns akin to what Russia had done in the 2016 US election. ÒWe simply didnÕt care enough to stop them,Ó she wrote. ÒI know that I have blood on my hands by now.Ó
