Facebook's culpability in the rise of far-right extremism is not a matter of conjecture. It is a well documented fact. Sandberg was personally warned for years this could happen and turned a blind eye to curry political favor and create enormous profit.

Sandberg used meetings w/ civil rights leaders to land favorable headlines, and many news outlets were all too happy to oblige. She ignored the counsel of every organization that had been warning Facebook for >half a decade that a reckoning was coming.

Facebook's top civil rights partners, whom I have interviewed for dozens of hours over the past year, are unanimous in the belief that Sheryl Sandberg has personally misled them and abused their relationship, usually for PR. And I plan to have more reporting on that soon.

Let's not forget that Facebook hired a group of professional slanderers that pushed anti-Semitic and anti-Black smears to conduct opposition research into civil rights leaders
