Can't wait for Sheryl Sandberg to write a new book now on garden soil or something.

Any reason to attack the one woman among the Facebook leadership and not, say, Mark Zuckerberg?
Because the others among the Facebook leadership are not going around writing and promoting books?

Also, do you genuinely not find it disconcerting that Facebook leadership go to great lengths to avoid discussing the privacy implications of their service? And the only person in that group who puts herself "out there", so to speak, is instead writing "success literature"?

Is there some specific evilness to writing books? Because I don’t see how her writing books is reason to single her out for criticism.

So you’re angry because they don’t talk about privacy. And you’re especially angry at her because ...she doesn’t talk about privacy?

That argument also doesn’t make much sense when comparing her to Zuckerberg explicitly, who’s at least as “out there” as she is. Didn’t he go on a “50 states listening tour” last year?

I guess she likes money and success literature earns more then privacy literature.

If there would be someone in Facebook leadership that writes about privacy and political implications for it, it would absolutely make sense to single out that person. Success literature is irrelevant to topic.

But, I think she was single out, because she is only name besides Zuckenberg the parent knows. Never underestimate ignorance on discussion forum.
