BOLDUAN: Hundreds of Facebook employees writing an open letter to Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, protesting the company's policy to not fact-check political ads. This is according to the "New York Times." We saw the letter. The employees wrote, in part, that the company's position on ads is, quote, "a threat to what Facebook stands for." That's from inside the company. There's also big criticism from outside the company on this very issue. A California activist is now registered as a candidate for governor just so he can test that very policy. Joining me right now, CNN Business Reporter, Donie O'Sullivan, who has been digging into all of this. Donie, let's start with Facebook staffers. That says something coming from inside Facebook and what they're trying to tell executives.</s>DONIE O'SULLIVAN, CNN BUSINESS REPORTER: Yes, this is not a company that normally leaks. But what the employees are asking and telling Mark Zuckerberg is they're going far beyond this fact-checking policy. They're actually saying other things we do with political ads are problematic, too. Our targeting is too good. If you and I, Kate, were living on the same street and wrote on Facebook, they would be able to target us with very different messages, even with very different lies. What employees are trying to tell Zuckerberg is this is a problem when there's no shared understanding of what a candidate is saying. That way we can test this, we can call it out. And it's creating this environment of everybody has a different view of the candidate.</s>BOLDUAN: Really quick, because we never have enough time. But has Facebook said anything about this in response to the letter?</s>O'SULLIVAN: Facebook says they're listening to their employees, but not much beyond that.</s>BOLDUAN: Stop talking. I'm listening to you, I promise, Donie. Not at all. Good to see you, man.</s>O'SULLIVAN: Thank you.</s>BOLDUAN: Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. All right, everybody, we'll be right back.
