Facebook’s Zuckerberg sought to coordinate ‘political ops’

By Around the Web

(HEATSTREET) — Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg sought advice from Hillary Clinton’s campaign advisers about getting involved in politics and advancing policy goals such as immigration reform, according to emails published by WikiLeaks on Tuesday.

Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg emailed Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta in August 2015 to see if Podesta would be interested in meeting with Zuckerberg, who she described as “hungry to learn” about politics.

“He wants to meet folks who can inform his understanding about effective political operations to advance public policy goals on social oriented objectives,” Sandberg wrote.
