LOS ANGELES: A consulting firm hired by Facebook to deal with the outfall over Russian propaganda on its platform resorted to linking critics of the social media giant to George Soros, the New York Times reported Wednesday (Nov 14) as part of a massive expose on Facebook's crisis response.
The consulting firm in question, D.C.-based Definers, specialises in crisis response and opposition research.
It was hired in October of 2017 by Facebook to deal with a growing backlash against the company's slow response to Russia's election interference as well as the Cambridge Analytica data scandal.
