Sandberg was staunch in her support of Facebook’s efforts to prevent foreign influence. Sandberg’s comments come as the social media giant is facing additional heat from lawmakers regarding the collection of consumer data.

Everyone here knows this is an arms race and that means we need to be ever more vigilant.”
