Facebook's board said Thursday it pushed CEO Mark Zuckerberg and second-in-command Sheryl Sandberg to "move faster" on investigating Russian interference on the platform, but said "to suggest that they knew about Russian interference and either tried to ignore it or prevent investigations into what had happened is grossly unfair."
The statement comes a day after a New York Times investigation claimed Zuckerberg and Sandberg downplayed internal efforts to assess Russian misinformation campaigns, and sought to deflect public scrutiny.
