She 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 c…
This 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…

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).
Is Facebook actually well run? Or just fortunate in its timing in the market? It’s a spectrum, right? Skill and luck. How much of each has contributed to its success?
There was never any shortage of competitors, and Facebook wasn't the first on the social media scene by any measure. It came out of nowhere and toppled the dominant incumbent, and is still going strong against competition from giants like Google.
The article seems to imply Sandberg approved of anti semetic attacks against Soros, conveniently ignoring the fact that Sandberg (& Zuckerberg) is a Jew herself. I don't know what the editorial team at NYT thinks is happening, but I don't think Sandberg would condone anti semetic attacks against anyone, even rivals.
That doesn't mean anything and such terrible logic.
There are many cases of Neo Nazi that are Jewish. Just cause they're Jewish doesn't mean they can't hurt other Jewish people.
>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…

If someone is publicly saying questionable things about your organization, then trying to find out what their motivations might be by doing research is just common sense (especially if the company in question is publicly traded). So I'm with you there, I don't get the outrage here at all. It comes off as cheap and manufactured from what I'm seeing.
Which outrage are you referring to? I didn't see any in the article. It seemed pretty even keeled.

This was actually a major selling point for Trump during the election until it wasn't.
Trump's promises may not fit well with half the people but he has done all he promised. See list below. Lets see zuck try that - I think he will succeed too at least better than the "charming" presidents of the recent past on either side TPP cancelled Prison reform NAFTA renegotiated (this is something that is nit clear how well he did) China trade war (which by bloombergs account he has an upper hand in) North Korea…
Yes, he closed all those tax loopholes that he is an expert at exploiting (his words, not mine). He implemented his plan to win the war in Afghanistan. The wall along the border of Mexico is 30 feet tall and beautiful and Mexico paid for it. The opioid problem has been solved. He has released his tax returns. He has put his assets in a blind trust. He has Made America Great Again.
