Project Veritas Receives Insider Tape Exposing How Mark Zuckerberg Will Deal With Facebook Whistleblowers

On Friday, Project Veritas posted another insider video, this time from a Facebook insider, in which the social media giant indicated concerns about whistleblowers exposing material They’ve been trying for a long time to unveil Facebook’s inner workings.

The video shows CEO Mark Zuckerberg and VP, Deputy General Counsel Employment Law, Heidi Swartz addressing former Facebook employee and whistleblower Morgan Kahmann, but also what they plan to do about the situation.

“When we find leakers, which we often do, we have zero tolerance. So that means we fire them…We’re also continuing to investigate additional potential leakers, and we plan to take action there too. We’re also working on continuing to ramp up our investigative techniques as our company grows,” Swartz said.

On the video, Heidi Swartz, Facebook VP, Deputy General Counsel, Employment Law and Investigations, stated, “Project Veritas released a video last week alleging that they had uncovered a new effort to censor vaccine concerns globally. It was based on leaked documents about a health integrity program that we have in place that combats vaccine hesitancy by taking a hard stance against vaccine information—misinformation. This isn’t a new effort. This is a program we’ve proudly spoken about publicly in our blog.”

She said that the leakers gave Project Veritas the records because they didn’t agree with the company’s direction, but that they also revealed personal information about other staff, such as names and “org charts.”

She said that the identities of these workers were also disclosed on camera, and that once identities are out there, it’s difficult for Facebook to control what happens to them.

“I know some people here feel that there are good leaks and there are bad leaks, but they are all damaging and they are not the right way to bring about change.” Swartz said.”They [leakers] threatened our open culture, as Mark [Zuckerberg] said, they make it harder for us to achieve our goals. They generally encourage more leaks…I know some people here feel that there are good leaks and there are bad leaks, but they’re all damaging. They’re not the right way to bring about change, especially at a company like this,” she continued.

“You know—when people leak stuff, do we find them? I’ve been clear that we have a number of efforts to find people and we terminate people and pursue the recourse that we have when we identify them. In this [Project Veritas] case, we did find them,” Zuckerberg said.

“We also need to be very good at rooting out people who are leaking stuff. You know, I think over the last year there’ve been more leaks than I think all of us would have wanted, but we also find a lot of the folks and terminate them,” Zuckerberg also stated.

“Eric Spracklen who is the Chief of Staff for Project Veritas shared the video early Friday morning, “You sure you found all the leaks Mark?”https://twitter.com/EricSpracklen/status/1400802583124586503?s=20
