Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg Under Fire Over Russian Meddling
New York Times: Delay, Deny and Deflect: How Facebook’s Leaders Fought Through Crisis
Sheryl Sandberg was seething.
Inside Facebook’s Menlo Park, Calif., headquarters, top executives gathered in the glass-walled conference room of its founder, Mark Zuckerberg. It was September 2017, more than a year after Facebook engineers discovered suspicious Russia-linked activity on its site, an early warning of the Kremlin campaign to disrupt the 2016 American election. Congressional and federal investigators were closing in on evidence that would implicate the company.
But it wasn’t the looming disaster at Facebook that angered Ms. Sandberg. It was the social network’s security chief, Alex Stamos, who had informed company board members the day before that Facebook had yet to contain the Russian infestation. Mr. Stamos’s briefing had prompted a humiliating boardroom interrogation of Ms. Sandberg, Facebook’s chief operating officer, and her billionaire boss. She appeared to regard the admission as a betrayal.
“You threw us under the bus!” she yelled at Mr. Stamos, according to people who were present.
The clash that day would set off a reckoning — for Mr. Zuckerberg, for Ms. Sandberg and for the business they had built together. In just over a decade, Facebook has connected more than 2.2 billion people, a global nation unto itself that reshaped political campaigns, the advertising business and daily life around the world. Along the way, Facebook accumulated one of the largest-ever repositories of personal data, a treasure trove of photos, messages and likes that propelled the company into the Fortune 500.

WNU Editor: Facebook has been quick to deny the above allegations .... 'Just Plain Wrong:' Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg Denies She Interfered with Russian Meddling Investigations (Fortune). As to what is my take on Facebook. I have been using it personally since the beginning (though I rarely update or check on it). But in terms of my book and library project .... it is used and updated daily and always with a positive message. See here Bookyards Facebook. So I do know the positive power that social media can have .... as well as the bad. But in regards to Facebook's response to the hate and the political/social propaganda that is on its platform .... coupled with its failure when it comes to censorship that appear to be politically biased .... Facebook has disappointed me. That is why the above New Your Times article does not surprise me, and I have no confidence in Facebook management correcting it.
