https://www.cnet.com/news/sheryl-sandberg-reportedly-asked-facebook-staff-to-probe-soros-finances/ > A New York Times investigative report earlier this month concluded that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Sandberg "ignored warning signs" of the Cambridge Analytica scandal that saw a political consultancy use data from millions of Facebook users and hired a firm called Definers Public Affairs to retaliate against or spread inflammatory information about its critics. Definers circulated a research document and tried to press reporters to dig into financial ties between Soros and members of Freedom from Facebook, a coalition of Facebook critics that's urged regulators to break up the social media giant. > Facebook said in a statement that the social networking giant had already begun researching Soros when Sandberg made her request.
