CEO Mark Zuckerberg has denied the allegations in connection with a whistleblower alleging that Facebook was immorally seeking profit.
Zuckerberg's position came shortly after former Facebook employee Frances Haugan testified in a US Senate hearing that Facebook and Instagram were harming the safety of children and others for the company's benefit.
Zuckerberg posted the notes he sent to employees on a Facebook message board and said Haugan's allegations were "not true."
"I'm sure many of our employees will find it difficult to read because the latest reports don't reflect the companies we know," Zuckerberg said.
"I think a lot about what I'm thinking about getting my kids and other kids to experience online," Zuckerberg said in a statement.
Zuckerberg concluded, "I'm proud to create the best social products, and I'm grateful that you guys work here every day."
Previously, Facebook's chief product manager, Haugan, has been exposing Facebook's flaws through media reports and hearings.
Haugan said Facebook did not remove racist comments or fake news posts from celebrities.Its subsidiary, Instagram, also claimed that it did not delete certain posts even though they knew they were harmful, such as increasing the suicide rate among adolescents.
"Ultimately, all responsibility rests with Zuckerberg," Haugan said at the hearing, particularly targeting Zuckerberg.
