As Facebook's never ending string of crises continues,Watch The Uncanny Counter (2020) Online internal disagreements have prompted its chief security officer to leave.
Alex Stamos is due to depart the company in August after disputes over how much Facebook should reveal about governments misusing the platform and changes within the organisation, according to the New York Times.
SEE ALSO: Facebook's latest scandal knocked $40 billion off its market valueAs the company deals with the Cambridge Analytica scandal and the continued probe into Russia's use of Facebook in the 2016 U.S. election, Stamos was reportedly "persuaded to stay" by the company because an imminent departure would be a bad look.
Stamos had been investigating the scale of Russian interference on the social media platform with a group of engineers since June 2016. He pushed for as much to be revealed as possible, a wish opposed by the company's legal and policy teams, who were concerned about the effects those revelations would have on the business.
Stamos joined Facebook from Yahoo in June 2015. Early on in his Facebook career, Stamos reportedly faced dismay from COO Sheryl Sandberg over how proactive the platform should be policing itself.
With his departure on the table, Stamos has reportedly handed over his duties countering government-sponsored misinformation, according to Reuters. His 120-person team is down to three, redistributed to product and infrastructure.
In a tweet, Stamos didn't deny that reports that he was leaving, but said he is "still fully engaged" with his work, and later denied claims Facebook executives discouraged the security team from investigating Russian interference.

It's worth noting that according to the Timesreport, Stamos was encouraged by Facebook's communications team to tweet in defence of the company as news of the Cambridge Analytica scandal broke — but only after every word had been approved.
