It&amp;#x27;s reporting on a report that Sandberg involved meta employees with a coordinated PR campaign with Activision, but doesn&amp;#x27;t actually say what they said to the mail or even hint at it. Sandberg giving a personal reference to her boyfriend of &amp;quot;He&amp;#x27;s never hit me&amp;quot; would probably have been partially Facebook&amp;#x27;s problem, given her position as COO. On the other hand, she could have used that position to make threats at the mail, the article hints but refuses to state.&lt;p&gt;You can probably infer all you need to about Sheryl&amp;#x27;s personal ethics from &amp;quot;Works at Meta&amp;quot;, so any involvement with Kotick is mere icing.</text></comment>
