Two suspicious things about these claims:
1) In Facebook's official response [1], they say
> Our relationship with Definers was well known by the media – not least because they have on several occasions sent out invitations to hundreds of journalists about important press calls on our behalf.
But somehow neither Sheryl Sanders nor Mark Zuckerberg [2] were aware of this "well known" relationship.
2) If Definers' job were really as benign as exposing faux-grassroots criticism, why mask the connection to Facebook by going through then? Why wouldn't Facebook respond directly, as they did to the New York Times exposé?
