Facebook Scandal - Soros Wants US Congress To Investigate After Sandberg Lies Exposed

Earlier this week, when the New York Times exposed that Facebook had hired a PR firm to spread fake news (about George Soros and Apple among other things) in order to deflect attention away from the company, Ms Sheryl Sandberg appeared in various media and declared that she had never heard of the lobbying firm known as Definers.

She has now clarified those remarks further and said she ‘had been told of the PR firm’ but had not remembered its name.

The latest developments follow the social network's decision to publish a memo by its departing communications chief, Mr. Elliot Schrage.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Oh look, Facebook tries to bury bad news on the eve of Thanksgiving. They finally admit what they first tried to deny to the New York Times - Facebook knowingly launched a co-ordinated smear campaign on Facebook critics and George Soros. <a href="https://t.co/qgboFPxIaQ">https://t.co/qgboFPxIaQ</a></p>&mdash; Christopher Wylie 🏳️🌈 (@chrisinsilico) <a href="https://twitter.com/chrisinsilico/status/1065375879122046976?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 21, 2018</a></blockquote>

In that document, he confirmed Facebook had directed the PR firm Definers to investigate Soros's links to the Freedom from Facebook campaign, which is seeking the company's break-up.

<b>Soros Asks US Congress To Get Involved</b>

The 180-degree turn and admission that the Facebook board did know about the firm has led to an uproar from Mr. Soros’s personnel.

One of his lieutenants, Mr. Patrick Gaspard, stated: “So Facebook decides to drop a turkey on Thanksgiving eve, with admission that Definers was tasked by company leadership to target and smear George Soros because he publicly criticized their out of control business model. Sorry, but this needs independent, congressional oversight.”

Definers is, amongst others, accused of spreading the story that Mr. Soros financially supported the ‘Freedom from Facebook’ campaign group.

The company also tried to portray Facebook's competitors, Apple and Google, negatively in news articles.

<b>Tim Cook</b>

Definers also worked for chipmaker Qualcomm, who is involved in a lawsuit against Apple for the use of modem patents. To upset Apple CEO Tim Cook, the lobbying company helped spread the rumor that Mr. Cook wanted to join the US presidential election in 2020.

That was done to cool the working relationship between Mr. Cook and US President Donald Trump.

Although Mr. Trump had strongly criticized the Chinese manufacturing of American Apple products and Mr. Cook had criticized, among other things, Mr. Trump's new visa regulations, the two had built up a good working relationship.

The lobbying company also spread anti-Apple investigation rumors, claiming that the company was bowing to Chinese rules, which would be at odds with their public pro-privacy viewpoints.

Funny seeing these 2 go at each other. They can both loose and we win. We made it over 200 years without social media and things seemed more stable. Well at least till they weren’t. Now it’s just constant bickering and for all we know what seems like the majority ends up being a few people with an agenda and bots. #DeleteFacebook
