Even Mark Zuckerberg's own employees think their CEO is Watch Hugas Onlinewrong about News Feed.
A group of Facebook employees are organizing a "task force" to question the social network's involvement with spreading fake news in the run-up to the election, according to BuzzFeed. The group reportedly disagrees with Zuckerberg's public statements on the issue and plans to suggest changes the company can make to improve News Feed.

Citing five unnamed members of the group, described as "an unofficial task force," BuzzFeedreports the employees were upset by Zuckerberg's characterization of the idea that fake news and hoaxes affected the election as "crazy."
Many more employees not directly involved in the task force are also unhappy with Facebook's stance on the issue. The social network has increasingly come under fire in the wake of the presidential election as critics argue that the proliferation of fake news and hoaxes influenced the election -- a dynamic the company did little to prevent.

Sunday night Mark Zuckerberg posted a lengthy update on Facebook in which he again dismissed the claims, saying that it was "extremely unlikely hoaxes changed the outcome of this election in one direction or the other."
Facebook did not immediately respond to Mashable'srequest for comment.
It's unclear if Zuckerberg or other executives will change their position on the matter. Facebook executives also had an internal conversation about the role of News Feed in the election, according to an earlier report in the New York Times.
News that Facebook's own employees are actively resisting the company's official line on the matter would seem to make Zuckerberg's stance increasingly untenable. Now that large groups of Facebook employees, including engineers directly involved in its technology, are arguing that the company can and should do more to combat misinformation -- and blasting Zuckerberg for repeatedly dismissing the same claims -- he will be hard-pressed to make the case that even his own employees don't believe.
