Can’t we assume at this point that Sandberg likely has someone posting on her behalf? Someone who likely is in PR/marketing working “next to” the person/team that spearheaded the article. This is particularly ironic because there are likely rules against account sharing that Facebook PR does not in fact follow.

there's no way someone could've posted this on her personal FB page without her knowledge

  Ok, but I think you overestimate how much micromanagement might be going on. Simple story: - ok we'll do a sponsored post in teen vogue - story is written up! - oh, looks like it’s out, time to post about it There isn’t gross incompetence, at best it’s just a bit of a timing issue from the mistaken early publish.

  Is that true? Maybe I misunderstand how powerful people typically use media, but I wouldn't be surprised at all to learn that Sheryl Sandberg has an assistant who's allowed to post to her personal Facebook.

    you’re conflating the act of posting something with posting something you made up without approval from the person in question.

    > an assistant who's allowed to post to her personal Facebook "I was just giving orders." Such an assistant would be allowed by her.

I hate that executives, celebrities, etc have people post on their behalf, and then people defend their posts saying "it was probably posted on their behalf." If you allow someone to write as you, it's your fault if they write something out of turn. I know you're making a different point and not defending her, but this type of thing irks me.

  I remember the blown up case of MKBHD being blocked by wonder woman when he pointed out in a screenshot that she used iPhone despite her being a Huawei ambassador when PRing and asking people to buy Huawei phones on Twitter. Which was fine if she did it personally but people used it was her pr team as an excuse to shut down drama. She unblocked MKBHD after deleting/retweeting those tweets using an android phone this time. I found it a bit weird how her fans and most people casually ignored it using the pr team theory. That just makes it worse.
