A former chief executive of Facebook New Zealand and Australia has made a stunning swipe against his former employer, urging users to delete the social network's app. Stephen Scheeler slammed Mark Zuckerberg's "sad" decision to completely block news links from Aussie websites in the country. But unfortunately, it did," Scheeler told The Australian. For Facebook and Mark it's too much about the money, and the power, and not about the good," Scheeler said. A Facebook rep told CNBC on Thursday that it would reverse some of the bans.
