Why Facebookâs local boss doesnât do news Feb 19, 2021 â 5.03pm Save Share Facebook and its local boss Will Easton arenât big on news. The tech giant certainly hasnât valued it. That much was clear way back in 2014 when The Australian Financial Reviewâs BOSS was granted a rare insight into the famously secretive tech giant, spending a day inside its Australian HQ in Sydney with the CEO Easton. It was also reinforced earlier this year, when Easton snubbed a parliamentary committee examining the governmentâs controversial new media code. Googleâs local boss Mel Silva fronted the hearing, just a day before giving birth to her third child.
