Facebook has posted an unusual thread to its Twitter account, suggesting that major revelations are on their way.
The thread, and its attack on unnamed journalists, came after weeks of reports about the internal workings of Facebook. Relying on internal documents, reports suggested that Facebook was for instance aware of the damage its platforms were doing to young women.
“We expect the press to hold us accountable, given our scale and role in the world. But when reporting misrepresents our actions and motivations, we believe we should correct the record,” Facebook said in the tweet thread, which was attributed to its vice president of communications, John Pinette.
“Over the last 6 weeks, including over the weekend, we’ve seen how documents can be mischaracterized. Obviously, not every employee at Facebook is an executive; not every opinion is the company’s position.
“Right now 30+ journalists are finishing up a coordinated series of articles based on thousands of pages of leaked documents. We hear that to get the docs, outlets had to agree to the conditions and a schedule laid down by the PR team that worked on earlier leaked docs.
“A curated selection out of millions of documents at Facebook can in no way be used to draw fair conclusions about us. Internally, we share work in progress and debate options. Not every suggestion stands up to the scrutiny we must apply to decisions affecting so many people.
“To those news organizations who would like to move beyond an orchestrated ‘gotcha’ campaign, we are ready to engage on the substance.”
Tl:dr: There will be some documents coming out with something that has Facebook scared ****less.
