In 2016 "22% of Serbian citizens who had contact with public institutions included in research (traffic police, public health, educational system, courts - civil litigation, public services that issue official documents, departments responsible for social welfare), had paid bribe at least once in the previous year."
This would be not the first case where the rules are "bent" for the sake of Djokovic family: https://birn.rs/teniski-centar-novak-do-novih-kvadrata-uz-us... (unfortunately I couldn't find the source in English; in short, they got some premium Belgrade land, which was initially planned for a public park, for their tennis academy)

There's a considerable difference in doing that once a second and dozens (hundreds? thousands? depending on how it was implemented) times a second, which I would assume what the previous default ("smooth") setting meant.
Frankly, I think far more performance problems nowadays lie in things like insane SVG/CSS animations for every possible loading spinner than in developers not knowing their O notations.
Giving your employer the standard two weeks notice is so if they're called by a place you'd like to work for reference they say they'd rehire you. If you go negative anytime during the exit process your management can use that to flip your re-hire status. That's just one way previous employers can affect someone who's left. The balance of power is firmly stacked against the employee and for the employer.
If you want to be a "voice of change" then you'd better have enough evidence to stand up in a court. Anything less can be gaslit.
Also remember, Recruiters and HR move around to different companies a LOT, and they all know each other (BECAUSE they move around a lot!). So you may find that one of these folks at a company you apply to either knows someone involved with your hiring or leaving a previous company, or might have been involved themselves.
Legal circumstances of giving away data of your previous employee aside (which might be very different here in EU), why would my new company rather trust my previous company's bad-mouthing HR than me? And if so, would I be willing to work for such a company?
Rare, but companies can shit on you if they ever get called during a background check.
e.g.,
* "Hi, I'm calling about Alice. Can you confirm Alice's title and start and end dates of her position?"
* Started X, left Y. They're not allowed on the premises anymore."
Generally, companies avoid this because it exposes them to lawsuits, but all it takes is one HR rep who doesn't know the company policy.

You don't _need_ to know, but it's human to want to know, and it's also human to want to satisfy other human's curiosity, especially if it doesn't bring any harm to you.
Also, your post is not really answering any of GP's questions. I presume you wanted to say that FB doesn't _owe_ any explanation to us, but the GP asked, as they already provided one, to whom is it addressed.
Just a rough translation of "Když chcete být slavní, musíte něco dělat tak blbě, že tak blbě to nikdo ve světě neudělá". "...you have to do something in such a silly manner, that nobody in the world did it so silly" or such.
