    I don’t it’s a fair assessment - dude was just a kid.

    I’ve watched some podcasts and interviews and I think he’s a much more complex of a person. I do genuinely think he’s thinks he’s doing good and I do think that Meta stuff is a net benefit to the humanity.

    Even if you hate Facebook it brought people together in so many places, especially if you consider developing world.

      Doing good does not absolve you of having done evil.

      Zuck has utterly failed in preventing facebook from doing clear, preventable, harm.

      I don’t get to walk free, no matter how many homeless people I feed, if I kill one.

      The same should go for corporations. If they do evil, once, they should done. Not fined. There is no math which makes the bad that facebook does, necessary to achieve the good it does.

      Have you watched ‘The Social Dilemma’?

      Facebook actively promotes things that will make you scared and angry, because those are the emotions that drive the most engagement and get the most clicks.
