Civil rights groups call for Facebook board overhaul

Dozens of civil rights groups on Wednesday called on Facebook to purge Mark Zuckerberg and Sheryl Sandberg from its board for blunders including "weaponizing anti-Semitism."
"It's an absolute disgrace that Facebook sought to deflect criticism and discredit advocates by exploiting anti-Semitic campaigns against philanthropist George Soros."
The NAACP called on the Congress to further investigate Facebook in the wake of a Senate Intelligence Committee report revealing that the Russian influence campaign "made an extraordinary effort to target African-Americans."
A prominent feminist and author with strong political connections, Sandberg has drawn fire in particular over an embarrassing effort to probe Soros, the billionaire investor, after he assailed the online network as a "menace to society."
