The movie "Social Network" is a Fiction inspired by real life event. The story itself was re-created from pieces of one sided stories and some publicly available records.
The movie would be really boring if it were following the real life story. Aaron Sorkin is making it into a movie, not a re-enactment.
During the productions, many of the crews were laughing when they heard Justin Timberlake was cast as Sean Parker. Especially for those who know of Sean Parker based on their research and personal knowledge. David Fincher is really particular about making this movie, because it is his passion.
Consider "The Social Network" as a movie inspired but not based on true event.
