CultureWhat The Social Reckoning gets right — and wrong

Aaron Sorkin’s film follows Frances Haugen’s leak of Facebook documents to Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz. It draws on real reporting but compresses and shifts the timeline: Zuckerberg testified before the House in March 2021, while the first Facebook Files report appeared in September. The film also depicts Haugen’s leaks leading to congressional testimony and lawsuits against Meta.
