According to several news reports, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has a special unit under the guidance of Sonya Ahuja, who check employees on the floor for espionage. Wrote The Guardian on Sunday, March 16.
The social media magnate in question has already been accused of leaking information to the NSA. The espionage of employees is quite a realistic claim made by the former Facebook employee who hides under a false name.
John Evans, "THE SPY", who was fired by Facebook in 2015, shares his juicy story with The Guardian.
During the weekly Facebook meetings in 2015, Zuckerberg promised to make every effort to track down and fire the employee.
"We're going to find the leaker, and we're going to fire them"
A week later, Evans was dismissed in a dishonorable way. They have lured him with a promotion.
Evans received a message from his manager on Facebook that he would receive a promotion. The next day they met, Evans was escorted to the location. When the manager opened the door, Evans stood face to face with Facebook's rat catcher team.
He was questioned while they already knew he did it. They knew a lot of details about him that makes your eyebrows frown.
They have a record of screenshots that he had made, information at their disposal on which link Evans clicked and even hovered. He also said that there were many points of reference that they had access to the chat between Evans and the journalist. This is the problem, this conversation goes back to the time before he worked at Facebook.
True or not, each employee signs a contract and that usually contains a confidentiality clause. What information has been passed on to the journalist is not known, but according to Evans, it is about innocent information.
Question: On whose side are you? The employer or employee?
Not only Facebook is accused of spying on its staff. The search engine company Google has been under attack for racism and sexism lately. They too, former employees report that they are spying on its staff members.
