Facebook's outgoing communications head reportedly takes the blame for hiring controversial PR firm

Facebook's outgoing head of communications and public policy said he knew and approved the decision to hire the Washington-based public relations firm Definers Public Affairs, according to an internal memo reported by TechCrunch. Elliot Schrage, who announced in June that he was leaving, admitted that his team asked Definers to push negative narratives about Facebook's competitors.
