If you had sat Jeff Horwitz, Wall Street Journal technology reporter, and me down on my last day at Facebook and proposed so much as the idea, the possibility, that 4 1⁄ 2 months later I would be walking into a Senate hearing to testify about what was really going on at the company, that I would be “coming out” publicly as the whistleblower, we would have been horrified. “Absolutely not,” I would have said.
