This is not the first time that Facebook has faced issues stemming from a lack of human oversight. But this was the first time that Ms. Sandberg, who is responsible for Facebook’s entire advertising organization, has directly addressed the company’s high-profile ad issues in public. Ms. Sandberg, a veteran of the digital advertising industry, grew to acclaim in Silicon Valley by developing Google’s sales organization in the search giant’s early days. She joined Facebook in 2008, and was asked to do the same for the social network. Ms. Sandberg also said that the company was working on a program to encourage Facebook users to report abuses of its ad system.
