  • Mark Zuckerberg’s Head of Security Arrested of Physical Harassment – NowIamUpdated

    Two of Mark Zuckerberg’s staff have attacked the Facebook CEO’s head of security of serious misconduct.

    The head of security to the CEO, Liam Booth, who previously have had worked with the U. S. Secret Service, was testified of racist remarks, sexual harassment, and homophobic comments.

    Liam Booth, who currently heads the security section of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, was accused of making racist remarks towards Priscilla Chan, Mark’s Asian-American wife. Other members of the staff were reportedly subjected to a series of sexual and verbal harassment.

    Another staffer was also subjected to transphobic remarks by the head of security. Some of his racist remarks include “White lives matter more than Black lives” and that he “didn’t trust Black people.”

    The two former members of staff who leveled the allegations against the head of security worked in different departments during their days with Mark Zuckerberg and his company.

    One was a member of his domestic staff who oversaw his family affairs while the second person was a member of his security team. These individuals have hired Lisa Bloom, a California-based law firm, to represent them in court.

    As per the reports, the aggrieved individuals have made repeated efforts to curb Booth’s highhandedness. They alerted some of their superiors about Booth’s behavior but their complaints were disappointedly ignored.

    As the charges against Booth keeps ascending, he has been put on managing leave pending the outcome of the court case against him.

  • Facebook Shareholders Want Mark Zuckerberg’s Power Checked – NowIamUpdated

    Insiders inside Facebook and some lawmakers have repeatedly expressed concerns about Facebook and its CEO, Mark Zuckerberg. Their concerns center on the huge amount of power wielded by the company and Mark.

    Recently, some Facebook shareholders are expressing the same concern about the CEO and some of the company’s executives. Some of the investors have suggested putting checks on the CEO’s grip on Facebook which he founded a couple of years ago.

    One of the recommendations calls for the social media giant to elect a board chair from outside the company. The absence of such a chair, according to the shareholders, is responsible for the way Facebook mishandled some controversies.

    Another proposal also suggests that the Class B shares that empower Mark with the power of 10 votes per share should be eliminated to enable the shareholders to limit Mark’s power. They also hope that such a move will enable them to “hold management accountable.”

    Apart from the shareholders, several other people have also challenged Zuckerberg’s power and called for his removal as the CEO.

    Recently, Chris Huges, a Facebook co-founder, invited for the breakup of the social media giant while protesting about the “unchecked power” Mark wields in the company.

    A former chief security officer of the company, Alex Stamos, also suggested his former boss pick a replacement CEO in order to reduce his power.

    In response to the calls for checks on Mark’s power and influence, the company has advised investors to vote against such proposals.
