Activists Buy Facebook Ads Asking Facebook Employees to Leak

Freedom from Facebook, a coalition of organizations calling for stricter regulations on the tech giant, announced Tuesday that it has launched a Facebook ad buy to "offer Facebook employees who feel uncomfortable with recent events to voice their concerns."

Freedom from Facebook spokesperson Carli Kientzle told NBC News that they were able to target the ads using profile information from users who have Facebook listed as their employer. 

Facebook did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Freedom from Facebook's recent ad buy.
