> Speaking at a cocktail party in Davos on Jan. 22, Facebook’s chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, repeated the worn Silicon Valley cliché that Facebook is trying to make the world a better place.

How out of touch is Sandberg, yikes. The hubris of a FB exec still clinging onto that old phrase after everything they've become associated with.

This being written by Soros and not an article about something he said makes this message much more interesting. He's putting FB on blast in public forum, it's a much louder message.

> In 2016, Facebook provided the Trump campaign with embedded staff who helped to optimize its advertising program. (Hillary Clinton’s campaign was also approached, but it declined to embed a Facebook team in her campaign’s operations.)

Will this become a theme for all elections? Does FB also do this for other elections and in elections outside of the US?

It feels like a bit of a dirty game to embed your engineers into a political campaign.

Creepy billionaire complains that another billionaire isn't doing what he wants. Yawn.
