Delay, Deny and Deflect
Mr. Zuckerberg and Ms. Sandberg-
Bent on FB's Growth, they Concealed Problems from public view.

nytimes.com/2018/11/14/tec…
"As evidence accumulated that Facebook’s power could also be exploited to disrupt elections, broadcast viral propaganda and inspire deadly campaigns of hate around the globe, Mr. Zuckerberg and Ms. Sandberg stumbled. Bent on growth, the pair ignored warning signs and
then sought to conceal them from public view. At critical moments over the last three years, they were distracted by personal projects, and passed off security and policy decisions to subordinates, according to current and former executives.

MSNBC is Surging
Starting in 2015, NBC News/MSNBC Chairman Andy Lack and MSNBC President Phil Griffin overthrew a cabal of progressive anchors in the daytime and replaced them with talented newsies that keep on top of the news.
washingtonpost.com/amphtml/opinio…
"...MSNBC is distinguishing itself with reporting about the Trump administration without depending on the Trump administration. “I don’t necessarily want to hear from the White House on almost anything,” said Maddow to this blog in 2017, citing the lies coming from the building.
So, where to go for news? Federal courthouses, that’s where. Ever since special counsel Robert S. Mueller III started producing indictments and other interesting documents, Maddow has devoured them — all of them. She reads the filings on air, off air and in-between.

Bent on growth, Zuck & Sandberg ignored warning signs about their platform being used by Russia and then sought to conceal them from public view.
nytimes.com/2018/11/14/tec…
This report is based on interviews w more than 50 current & former Fb execs & employees, lawmakers, govt officials, lobbyists & congressional staff members. Most spoke on the condition of anonymity because they had signed NDAs, were not authorized, or feared retaliation.
At critical moments over the last three years, Sandberg & Zuck were distracted by personal projects, and passed off security and policy decisions to subordinates, according to current and former executives.

Every time you think Facebook can't look any worse, more news comes out. nytimes.com/2018/11/14/tec…
Every time you think Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg can't look any worse, more news comes out. nytimes.com/2018/11/14/tec…
Here’s the twist: Facebook’s anti-Soros line of defense was led by the firm run by that “Pod Save America” guy.

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.

🔴Facebook ha avuto un problema di sicurezza che ha esposto 50 mln di utenti. Altri 40 a rischio. Per questo 90 mln di utenti devono fare di nuovo il login. Storia in divenire qui comunicato Facebook newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/09/s…
Facebook dice di non sapere origine o identità degli attaccanti e di dover valutare ancora la portata, riferisce il NYT. Ad essere stati sottratti i token di accesso attraverso una vulnerabilità (che sarebbe stata chiusa) nytimes.com/2018/09/28/tec…
No accesso a password, no accesso ai messaggi privati o alle carte di credito degli utenti, ha detto Facebook in conferenza stampa, aggiungendo di stare lavorando con l’Fbi. Comunque bruttissima storia. Info via Reuters

This sensitive intelligence didn’t leak in this kind of detail through all the sturm and drang of the last year and a half. Trump’s fawning behavior in Helsinki shook this loose and into public view. nytimes.com/2018/07/18/wor…
I’d speculate the intel sources here reasonably concluded that Trump has already burned their sources and methods to Putin.
The conclusion itself, without sourcing, the US intelligence community has more or less said publicly all along.

Ahead of Zuckerberg's Congress testimony, a quick revision guide.
All you need to know about Facebook (and why you should be concerned), brought to you by the Observer/Guardian's investigation into data and democracy...
Hard to believe it was less than a month ago that @carolecadwalla broke the story about GSR harvesting 50m+ Facebook profiles for @CamAnalytica to use in political campaigning:
Revealed: 50 million Facebook profiles harvested for Cambridge Analytica.. theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
Via the first major interview with @CamAnalytica whistleblower @chrisinsilico which explained Facebook had known about the leak for at least 18months and detailed Robert Mercer / Steve Bannon's central roles ‘I made Bannon’s psychological warfare tool’: theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…
