Facebook Inc. (FB) on Wednesday publicly released a Tuesday memo
that discussed the company's hiring of public-relations firm
Definers Public Affairs.
Definers helped Facebook craft opposition research against some
of its critics.
In the memo, reported by TechCrunch Tuesday, Facebook's
departing policy and communications chief, Elliot Schrage, said: "I
knew and approved of the decision to hire Definers and similar
firms."
The memo discusses Definers' work about George Soros. The
public-relations firm "learned that George Soros was funding
several of the coalition members" in the "Freedom from Facebook"
campaign, Mr. Schrage wrote.
