Project Veritas: Secretly taped Facebook executive said the company is too powerful and should be broken up
[Washington Examiner] A senior executive at Facebook was secretly recorded saying that the social media giant harms the world, that it needs to be broken up, and that CEO Mark Zuckerberg should be removed.

A video released Monday of Benny Thomas, Facebook's global planning lead, shows him candidly expressing his opinions about his employer to an undercover journalist from Project Veritas, a right-wing activist news outlet founded by James O'Keefe.

"I work for a company that is doing a lot of damage in the world," Thomas said in the video.

"It's doing a lot of good, but it's doing a lot of damage," he added.

Thomas said that other platforms that Facebook owns, such as Instagram, Oculus, and WhatsApp, "need to be separate companies" because it's "too much power when they're all one together."

"I would break it up, and I would remove [Mark Zuckerberg] as the CEO," Thomas said.

#3 The National Pulse chose to emphasize a different section of the discussion in their report:

A new Project Veritas video exposes Facebook Global Planning Lead Benny Thomas admitting Facebook helped tip the 2020 election in favor of President Joe Biden.

“We set ourselves a goal of registering four million new people, and we went over that target. We did 4.5 simply through like the presence on our, on the platform,” Thomas notes in the newly released tapes.

The undercover Project Veritas journalist reacts, “wow, registering 4.5 million voters,” to which Thomas admits: “That’s a lot. We made a big difference.”

The conversation continues, with the Project Veritas journalist exclaiming “Yeah I’m pretty sure we (Biden) won that way.”

In response, Thomas says “yeah, exactly” while laughing.

“Exactly, I think so, too,” he immediately adds.

The stunning admission follows months of National Pulse reporting highlighting Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s attempts to influence local election officials and partnerships with pro-Biden fact-checkers.
