Public also notices that Zuckerberg did not go into details about Facebook’s crisis but merely denied the accusations made about him and the company by saying these reports were inaccurate, even with The New York Times latest article about the way he and his COO dealt with the company’s latest scandals. The NYTimes article accused Mr. Zuckerberg and Ms. Sandberg of being occupied with their projects and delegated Facebook key decisions to their subordinates.

Mark Zuckerberg has been asked repeatedly this year whether he should step down from his position as Facebook CEO. However, he shows no sign of being willing to give up the leadership responsibility and Sheryl Sandberg, the COO, said that she expected to work with Zuckerberg for “decades more to come.”

About accusation of Facebook discrediting the protestors and dragging George Soros, the billionaire Jewish philanthropist to the problem, Definers, Eliot Schrager has taken responsibility of hiring them and “similar firms.” Schrager was Facebook’s former vice president of global communications, marketing, and public policy until the 15th of June this year.

However, his memo only confirmed that Facebook asked them to do some work that relates to George Soros and Definers did connect to the press. He explained that their motivation was to determining Soros’s reasons to call Facebook and Google “menace to society” in Davos.

Schrager’s memo did not make clear what the “similar firms” were or what they had done for Facebook, but in a separate event, COO Sandberg did confirm that their work was presented to her, and she had received emails in which the name Definers was mentioned.
