Facebook employees revolt againt Zuckerberg's lie policy

Here's the story and here's the employee letter. An excerpt of their letter:

"This is our company. We want to raise our concerns before it's too late. Free speech and paid speech are not the same thing. [...] Misinformation affects us all. Our current policies on fact checking people in political office, or those running for office, are a threat to what FB stands for. We strongly object to this policy as it stands. It doesn't protect voices, but instead allows politicians to weaponize our platform by targeting people who believe that content posted by political figures is trustworthy."

See the letter for those employees' recommendations for correcting the situation. Will Suckerborg respond to the reasonable and fair measures about political lying on FB? What do you think?
