According to a New York Times report, Zuckerberg criticized Sandberg for shaping Facebook’s current “culture” and inclusivity initiatives during a meeting with Stephen Miller, a senior advisor to former President Donald Trump.

 

Sheryl Sandberg, Meta's former COO, is facing mounting challenges. Just days after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg reportedly held her responsible for the company’s contentious policies, a new legal case has surfaced...
Sandberg has now reportedly been sanctioned by a Delaware judge for allegedly deleting emails related to the Cambridge Analytica scandal. According to a report in Tech Crunch, this stems from a shareholder lawsuit filed late last year against Sandberg and former Meta board member Jeff Zients.

The shareholders allege that Sandberg and Zients used personal email accounts to discuss matters related to a 2018 lawsuit accusing Facebook leaders of violating the law and their fiduciary duties regarding user privacy. They further claim that Sandberg and Zients deleted emails from these personal accounts despite a court order not to. The judge found these allegations credible.

The judge’s decision states that Sandberg used a personal Gmail account under a pseudonym for communications relevant to the case. The judge also noted inconsistencies in Sandberg’s responses to interrogatories and plaintiffs’ questions, suggesting she selectively deleted emails rather than using an auto-delete function.
As a sanction, the judge has raised the burden of proof for Sandberg’s affirmative defense. She must now prove her defense with “clear and convincing” evidence, a higher standard than the usual “preponderance” of evidence. The judge also awarded certain expenses to the plaintiffs.

A spokesperson for Sandberg maintains that the plaintiffs’ claims are without merit, stating that “all work emails were preserved on Facebook’s servers.”
