[[WMG:Eduardo appears sympathetic because he helped write the book the movie is based on]]
Think about it: For most of the things the movie describes the real life Eduardo Saverin is the only possible source. Sure, there are the Livejournal entries (which appear in the film almost unaltered) and a few things that happened at Harvard or made their way into the press, but for most of the things in the book and the movie the people who lived through it are the only possible source. Saverin was the only one to talk to the book's author (neither Parker nor Zuckerberg did) and the Winkelvi were apparently never asked or consulted. Saverin did break off the contact after his lawsuit was settled, but it seems not entirely coincidental that the Winkelvi are portrayed as entitled rich brats and Saverin is not despite both being born into wealth and attending Harvard. Saverin's case also looks a lot more justified than the one the Winkelvi filed, which comes of as spuriously trying to grab money from a good idea they did not have - Facebook is not in any sense a dating website, which was their idea.

** In fact, it's been pointed out that, when Mark narrates his creation of FaceMash, all of his explanations about what he was doing were completely technically accurate and plausible (closely based, in fact, on records of the actual event). On the other hand, when he's running students through a hacking contest for the internship positions, his technical explanations don't make any sense. Why? Because that scene is ''Eduardo's'' recollection of events, and Eduardo isn't a programmer. Each scene was intentionally designed to reflect the biases and specific ideas of the person who was telling about it.

Eduardo's preconceptions of Sean have been formed based on what he's read on the Internet and thus his testimony pointedly only recalls things that confirm his preconceptions. Thus, just as the audience has no idea what Sean is really like, neither do Mark and Eduardo, because of the way that what they have read on the Internet has shaped how they view the world.
