> 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.<p>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.<p>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.<p>> 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.)<p>Will this become a theme for all elections? Does FB also do this for other elections and in elections outside of the US?<p>It feels like a bit of a dirty game to embed your engineers into a political campaign.
