Why is Sandberg getting more negative press than Zuckerberg? Because Zuckerberg's halo fell off a long time ago but people continued to believe that Sandberg was a saint until recently, and people love exposing hypocrisy.
I have always thought of MZ as probably a huge jerk who's laughing all the way to the bank with all his privacy violations. So this kind of stuff from him doesn't surprise me. Not excusing it in any way shape or form, though.
But I bought into (some of) the stories about Sandberg who can have it all, be a good, confident executive and generally good person, and not be a grade A power-hungry ahole. So it's more of a disappointment that Sandberg's no different from the rest of them, because I actually used to admire her and look up to her. Now it seems like it was all a carefully manufactured story that the media just lapped up without actually doing any research. (But the same media has exposed them now, so kudos)
The thing that really shocked me is that these two executives who are Jewish, were pushing anti-Semitic tropes like George Soros funding everything (tropes that could hurt them and their families). In that, they pushed the White Nationalist agenda for their own monetary gains.
Again, cynics will say, that shouldn't have shocked you. But I'm the eternal optimist.
