Is there a official confirmation that he really mentored him? All I saw once is a statement that he knows him

That'd be a hell of a thing to lie about, and he'd easily be called out and discredited over it.

Also, not sure what kind of official confirmation you'd expect in this situation. Facebook isn't going to come out in the wake of this and confirm it, as it'd give it more creedence. You should be watching to see if they deny it.

If you ever find yourself in a situation where you have to explain to a relative or acquaintance why FB is bad and they just don't get it, point to this article, it'll save a bunch of time. Great articulation that sums up their issues and potential solutions. Sometimes things bear repeating they are so important.

    I got involved with the company more than a decade ago and have taken great pride and joy in the company’s success … until the past few months.
few months? Then you haven't been paying attention or are just as bad as them.
