This story has been 6 months in the making. It started with a question: What happened inside Facebook over the last 3 years, and what did top executives, Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg, do in the wake of crisis after crisis battering the company? nytimes.com/2018/11/14/tec…
No company has ever before been in such a position at the intersection of technology, politics, security and society. To report this story we interviewed more than 50 people. Most of what they told us has never been reported before.
Facebook is notoriously difficult to report on. The company offers highly curated, and controlled, access to journalists. Even as its been hit by cascading waves of scandals, the public has been offered little insight into what happened among the rank of the top leadership.
This was the result of lots of hard work from @cecilakang @nickconfessore @AllMattNYT @jacknicas and many editors who will go unnamed but who are heroes.
