I don’t get it - Article says Meta is reviewing her conduct [0] but then the same article mentions the spokesperson statement essentially saying she didn’t do it. [1] So is Meta done reviewing?

[0] Facebook is now reviewing whether Sandberg violated company rules, unnamed sources told the Journal.

[1] “Sheryl Sandberg never threatened the MailOnline’s business relationship with Facebook in order to influence an editorial decision,” a Meta spokesperson said in a statement. “This story attempts to make connections that don’t exist.”

Confusion in the Meta comms department.

Both narratives were approved but by accident they were issued simultaneously ... it was intended that [1] go out 24 hours after [0].

The PR statement says she didn't do it, but they're holding an internal review that leaked. If the review finds she did something improper, the PR statement won't change but she'll face some kind of punishment for "violating internal rules."
