A report by the Wall Street Journal claimed that the Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg held a meeting back in June where the firm was under fire of Cambridge Analytica data breach scandal. In the meeting, held among Facebook’s top executives, the CEO told employees that he would become a more aggressive CEO because the company was at ‘war’.
Zuckerberg reportedly expressed his anger that the company’s executives weren’t moving quick enough at times this year and said it was time for them to ‘make progress faster’, said the reports quoting people familiar with the remarks.

The report further claimed that Zuckerberg’s this approach caused further ‘unprecedented turmoil’ in Facebook’s senior executives, leading to many of them resigning from their post, including Instagram and WhatsApp cofounders, reported Business Insider.
Moreover, the report also stated that Zuckerberg blamed Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg and her team, worrying her about her job.
Also, a recent report from the New York Times also found that Facebook employed a Republican political-consulting firm to hit out at those felt to be attacking the social media site. This report gathered bad press attention with Zuckerberg later calling this all rubbish. A report from the same publishing house also stated that Zuckerberg had some clashes with Apple CEO Tim Cook, leading Zuckerberg to ordering employees to use Android phones instead of iPhones.
