There are conflicting accounts about what Ms. Sandberg said and whether she directly invoked Facebook in her communications with the Mail. In a written statement, Mr. Kotick told the Journal: "I never said anything like that." One person with knowledge of the situation inside the Mail said those who interacted with Ms. Sandberg at the publication didn't feel threatened. In 2016, Mr. Kotick forwarded an inquiry from a Journal reporter to a Facebook employee who worked for Ms. Sandberg, among others. The subsequent temporary restraining order blocked Mr. Kotick from coming within 100 yards of her or contacting her, according to court records.
