| Subject: Soros gang slams Facebook as a threat to democracy in open letter to Sheryl Sandberg Sun Nov 18, 2018 8:31 pm | |
| Facebook, as part of an effort to boost its image this summer, hired Republican-linked PR firm Definers Public Affairs in an attempt to blame the liberal billionaire George Soros for the rise of anti-Facebook groups, The New York Times reported on Wednesday. At Facebook’s request, Definers Public Affairs reportedly tried to find financial connections linking Soros to activists groups critical of Facebook, including Freedom from Facebook. In response to the report, Soros’ Open Society Foundations sent out an open letter to Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg that accused the company of “disseminating vile propaganda” that threatens the values “underpinning our democracy.” Soros has been vocal in his criticism of Facebook and other social-media companies in the past, accusing them of monopolizing control of information and access to data.
