More Facebook issues

Over the holiday weekend, news that Facebook had hired a PR firm to “make claims” about George Soros dropped.

FB went after Soros because he has ties to the Freedom from Facebook Foundation, which is trying to break up FB into its component parts.

Soros says that it’s a smear campaign, and is demanding a Congressional investigation.

COO Cheryl Sandberg claims to know nothing about this, and MArk Zuckerberg can’t be reached for comment.

An outgoing executive is likely to take the fall for this.

I don’t see how anyone could be surprised by this.

One thing that gets me about some people I know. They’ve quit FB, and said that “They’re free of it”, while continuing to use Instagram. When I (or others) point out that IG is owned by FB, people tend not to react well.
