Andrew Garfield confesses that he deleted his Facebook account before he worked on the 2010 biographical film The Social Network. Directed by David Fincher and written by Aaron Sorkin, the critically-acclaimed, award-winning drama portrays the founding of the social networking site Facebook, beginning with a young Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) at Harvard University, where he befriended Eduardo Saverin (Garfield), an early investor and co-founder of the platform. Facebook has faced an onslaught of controversies since its inception in 2004. For years, the company has been accused of selling, mismanaging user data, and spreading misinformation.
