When pressed if Facebook plans on apologizing, Sandberg came closer to offering a mea-culpa, but still didn't quite get there.
"Facebook has apologized, and certainly never wants to do anything that upsets users -- and particularly for communicating really badly."
But has Facebook really apologized for conducting the mood manipulation study itself? Not quite.
The Facebook researcher who designed the experiment, Adam D. I. Kramer, said in a postSunday that he was sorry for the way the study was presented and for the uproar it caused.
"I can tell you that our goal was never to upset anyone," Kramer wrote. "I can understand why some people have concerns about it, and my coauthors and I are very sorry for the way the paper described the research and any anxiety it caused. In hindsight, the research benefits of the paper may not have justified all of this anxiety."
