The coronavirus will have had consequences for Facebook. Mark Zuckerberg announced Thursday evening that within five to ten years, half of the employees of his group would be teleworking. From next year, the employees affected by these measures will have to say where they intend to work: from home or elsewhere, and especially in which state, because in the United States this can have an impact on the taxes paid the business.
