How Facebook Scaled Psychological Safety – Mehmet Baha Shares Their Journey
- Mehmet Baha, also known as Baha, explores his journey at Facebook and shares his lessons on establishing a culture that leads to psychological safety at work.
- Baha explains that when he was working for Facebook from 2009 to 2013, it was growing exponentially and there was a high degree of psychological safety because a substantial number of employees felt safe to express themselves openly.
- Organizations need to understand three aspects of an organization: culture, power, and strategic design for creating psychological safety, according to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
- Baha states that the culture of Facebook was the foundation of psychological safety resulting from the values, mindset, and behaviors of employees. Employees knew the values by heart, as well as the expected behaviors related to those values.
- Power, who holds it and how it’s shared, is another important aspect of an organization. At Facebook, managers played a vital role in creating psychological safety.
- Linking refers to the processes, tools, and systems in a company. Facebook had state-of-the-art tools and systems where employees could share information with one another and collaborate effectively across functions and geographies.
- To encourage employees to speak up and particularly to offer new ideas, Facebook organized innovation contests.
- During each team meeting, Facebook always had a people-related goal in their quarterly objectives creating psychological safety where employees could express their queries and concerns and thus make mistakes and learn from them.
- Great workplaces, according to Glassdoor.com, are high in psychological safety. Organizational success is highly attributed to psychological safety.
- To build and scale psychological safety in organizations, Baha explains the importance of embracing psychological safety by all employees including non-managers and how leaders and managers play a significant role in scaling psychological safety.

Data logs: The latest evolution in Meta’s access tools
- Meta has included data logs in its Download Your Information (DYI) tool, which allow users additional data about their Facebook usage.
- Meta gives transparency and control to users over their data.
- Data logs are a formatted version of a single row of data from Hive that has been processed to make the data transparent and easy to understand.
- To provide users whose want a more granular level of information, we created data logs as a solution to provide users access to data stored in Hive.
- Meta's data warehouse is designed to support low volumes of large queries for things like analytics and cannot scale to the query rates required for power real-time data access.
- A single data log entry is a formatted version of a row of data from Hive processed to make the underlying data transparent and easy to understand.
- Obtaining data from Hive in a format that could be presented to users was challenging, but this solution should be of interest to other companies seeking to provide access to data from their data warehouses.
- Complex data workflows require advanced tools and the capability to iterate on code changes quickly without re-processing everything.
- Meta must take care not to disclose information that may compromise our integrity or safety systems or our intellectual property rights.
- Meta provides user-friendly labels to define complex technology and backend systems, reducing duplicative information.

Instagram’s Threads: all the updates on the new Twitter competitor
- Facebook's Instagram launched Threads, its new Twitter competitor, on iOS, Android, and desktop on July 5th. Threads has already gained over 70 million registered accounts since its launch and is closely tied to Instagram, meaning you can use the same username across both apps. Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri explained in an interview with The Verge that it takes on Twitter due to the opportunity to build something that was open and good for the community using Instagram. Threads is primarily a text-based app where communities can discuss trendy topics and everyday interests.
- Rumors have been circulating about the new platform's development for months, with a March report from Platformer revealing that the app was looking into developing a standalone decentralized social network for sharing text updates. In June, Alex Heath leaked the details of a companywide meeting where the app was shown off and shared the first glimpse at Threads.
- The app is already rolling out new features such as soon allowing custom feeds and scheduled posts. Threads is also testing ads for the platform. However, the algorithm will focus more on people users follow, and not interrupt the user experience with ads.
- The development of Threads is a significant move by Instagram as it establishes the company as a real threat to Twitter's position in social media. It remains to be seen if Thread's approach, open to communities, will gain traction compared to Twitter's open discussions model.
- In the long run, engaging the community will be key to the success of Threads. As reported, the content moderation policies need improvement to avoid further user issues. Meta is also exploring how to implement intelligence into Threads to improve social media engagement and provide better context in conversation.
- Recently, Meta has also launched a beta program for Android, giving early access to new Threads features.
- Instagram Threads could disrupt the social media platform space, especially when considering the 70 million accounts it gained within merely two days. If maintained, it would eventually challenge Twitter for users’ engagement and provide a unique, discussion-based value proposition.
- Meta states that Instagram Threads will have a chronological feed shortly, just like the one on Facebook and Instagram.
- It has been noted that Threads might face issues with moderation as ActivityPub is integrated with it. Thread needs to get more user feedback in place since there has been a significant decrease in user statistics after launch. Meta has rightly pointed out that more rate limits could be placed on Threads going forward.
- In summary, Instagram Threads look set to challenge Twitter's market share in the text-based conversations market, with millions of new accounts being registered daily. It remains to be seen how effective the app will be in the long run compared to Twitter, but it certainly represents a unique opportunity for engagement amongst younger audiences.

Journalist targeted on WhatsApp by Paragon spyware: “I feel violated”
- WhatsApp has come forward and alleged that a hacking campaign was carried out using spyware believed to have been made by Paragon Solutions that targeted approximately 90 people, including journalists and civil society members throughout Europe.
- The first individual to come forward in Italy is Francesco Cancellato of fanpage.it, who was one of the journalists targeted by the spyware.
- Cancellato was notified by WhatsApp on 24 June 2022 that the spyware had attacked his device in December 2021.
- In response to the news, Cancellato felt 'violated', it begged several questions such as what was the purpose of the attack, what data did they access, and who specifically was behind it.
- WhatsApp claim that the spyware behind the hacking campaign is Graphite, a product made by Paragon Solutions, which allegedly allows hacking of encrypted messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Signal.
- The WhatsApp spying scandal is thought to have involved 35 democratic government clients of Paragon Solutions.
- Husam El Gomati, a Libyan activist who is Sweden-based, and has heavily criticised Italy's relationship with Libya, has been publicly identified as a target of the hack.
- Paragon Solutions was thought to be a responsible surveillance tech vendor, having cultivated on its website the reputation of providing customers with ethically based tools, teams and insights to disrupt intractable threats.
- Citizen Lab, a digital rights group based in Toronto, has been suggested as a possible source of assistance to the victims.
- Cancellato and Fanpage have contacted the authorities and Cancellato insists that this is an attack on Fanpage rather than himself.
