In general Sorkin dramas are not very historically accurate. I love the guy but he is known to embellish massively.
But we know for sure The Social Network (2009) is not really accurate because of information that came out later. In 2012, Mark's AOL instant message history was leaked. Mark flat out says that he plans to steal the idea from the Winklevosses and screw them over. He also says a lot of stuff that confirms he's a shitty person. Looking back now you could argue that the Winklevosses were the good guys all along.
