#2>told subordinates to examine why Mr. Soros had criticized the tech companies and whether he stood to gain financially from the attacks.
Well, he is an investor who has a history of causing financial damage to whole countries by betting against their currencies.
So, it shouldn't be surprising FB would want to know what might be in store for them if he went nuclear on them.
What is surprising is the odd bedfellows of Soros on the left and others on the right clamoring for FB regulation. I probably agree they need some kind of regulation --but one more generalized to all user-facing internet companies (colloquially "user is the product" companies).

#3This may be an unpopular opinion but here it is: Zuckerburg started this as a hobby with it being something he may never have thought of becoming full-scale. Fast forward to today and Zuckerburg is in over his head.
He has control over this !massive! amount of data that companies are chomping at the bit for. He’s trying to make sure his company survives and his product does no harm. But, he’s losing control. They’re trying to wiggle out of these wormholes they’ve sunk in and all of their fabrications are coming to light.

#4Facebook is turning an awful lot of Democrats into enemies. Very curious to see how Zuckerberg tries to maneuver Facebook through wartime. [1]

#5Mr soros is known to move markets to make money. I don't see why media can just label someone beyond reproach and malign anybody who tries to even dare to look them up

It's because the establishment segment (clinton) genuinely fear him throwing his hat in for 2020. Not that I like him but honestly, if he can sells fb stock and promises to genuinely treat Usa like his firm, I'd prefer him over a politician who says what pays (which is all politicians in all sides).

#8She did what I would have done if someone was attacked my company for no obvious reason - I’d want to know if they stood to gain and how. Obviously when someone holds a short position and bashed a company it’s pretty transparent. That’s a big reason why Tesla was in the news so much the last 12 months.
It’s when FB went on the offensive and started attacking Soros with “factually questionable” information that they crossed the line.

This was actually a major selling point for Trump during the election until it wasn't.

#10I would not be surprised if Mark Zuckerberg ends up becoming a Republican. He very obviously has political ambitions. A significant portion of the Left blames Facebook (at least in part) and by extension Zuckerberg for the election of Donald Trump. If he says the right things, I expect the Right to be more accepting than the Left which would still hold 2016 against him.
