She was fired from Facebook in September 2020, after declining a $64,000 severance package attached to an NDA, restricting her ability to speak publicly about it. Upon leaving, she posted a 7,800 word departure letter to Facebook’s internal message board outlining Facebook’s failure to combat political manipulation.
