ok, I’ll bite - at the dinner table. You had this super broad exclusive interview with Sheryl Sandberg prior to launching your podcast in Feb 2020. Candidly, what do you think of her answers after the WSJ series this week?

I mean, looking back, this really really seems disingenuous considering her role and what we learned this week in WSJ’s Facebook Files. Right? 
I mean Facebook is not remotely close to this now that we’ve seen the way they’ve operated behind the scenes, the research and policies they’ve had and ignored to protect the core biz model which you called out quite a bit.
Three specific examples. First, this was simply false. She told you they had already announced plans to merge apps before antitrust threatened when they actually announced it after German Federal Cartel Office decision to silo their apps was known to them. They then scrambled.
Second, also false, they actually used - arguably fictional - “user contracts” as their GDPR legal basis and its led to many many investigations and the first enforcement decision against FB for nearly $300mm.
Third, one more. According to Monday’s WSJ report, the humans set millions of peoples’ accounts to be exempt from the rules even letting Neymar spread revenue porn to over 50 million views. Makes this comment disturbing.
So in all seriousness, she sat there and misled you about a ton of information. Would you still allow her to the dinner table? What are your thoughts on that interview. Break the 4th wall, even if it upsets the almighty Facebook. Thx. Cheers and good luck.
Oh and here is the full podcast if anyone wants the full context. Start at the top. nbcnews.com/podcast/byers-…
