A former chief executive of Facebook New Zealand and Australia has made a stunning swipe against his former employer, urging users to delete the social network's app.
Stephen Scheeler slammed Mark Zuckerberg's "sad" decision to completely block news links from Aussie websites in the country.
"It shouldn't have happened. But unfortunately, it did," Scheeler told The Australian. "But there's no good answers ... But at Facebook, nobody ever loses their jobs."
Scheeler, who calls himself a "proud ex-Facebooker", question the motives of the tech giant in Australia and suggested the public should be more outraged by the decision to stem the flow of information within its borders.
