Sign o' the times...

Facebook investor might find himself a target of Facebook users angst...

Billionaire Facebook investor, Peter Thiel, has donated one million dollars to NumbersUSA.  NumbersUSA, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center is one of six core groups in the movement for anti-immigration. ... Facebook participants are outraged by Thiel’s donation.  The members of Facebook have begun using his own medium against him, in making an online group, on the network’s “grassroots page,” to lobby for the removal of Thiel from the Facebook board of directors.
Nearly 2,800 members have joined so far.  Others have even gone as far as cancelling their Facebook accounts altogether.  There have also been numerous advertisers who have removed their ads from Facebook as a result of Thiel’s donation.
