Less than two weeks after Mark Zuckerberg reiterated he was against fact-checking political ads on Facebook that may contain false information, a small, but potentially vocal group of company employees has come out in dissent against Facebook’s political ad policy.

More than 250 Facebook workers have signed an open letter to Zuckerberg calling upon Facebook executives to reconsider the company’s stance on ads places by politicians that could even include false claims against political rivals. The New York Times said it had seen a copy of the letter that was first placed on an internal computer program that Facebook uses to communicate with employees two weeks ago.
