Sheryl Sandberg recently got in big trouble for having investigators look into whether he shorted $FB before going up on a public platform to talk about $FB ethical issues.

Facebook didn't just investigate... they hired a PR firm to tie Facebook critics to Soros and anti Soros stuff....

Investigate is one thing but they went way farther than that.

Also liked to put out lots of other news critical about other tech companies anytime there was a snowball of bad Facebook news.

Yes, but what if it's true?

Soros funds many, highly targeted political activities.

It wouldn't be right if people were perpetuating falsehoods about him ... but if he's actively campaigning or supporting an initiative with major $$$, then it's fine if people are informed of that.

Not sure I understand. Why can’t he short a stock and then talk about how bad the company is? Isn’t that the whole premise of short selling?
