This is still I think the most telling glimpse into who the “ZUCK” really is. Looking at what meta has become, how it has operated… No matter how professional and respectable he acts.

This is who he really is.

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.

The problem I see is that you’ve bought into his lie. He might “sound” genuine in thinking he’s done good, much like Bill Gates sounds genuine when he talks about his philantropic shenanigans. It’s all an act.

The only net benefit I see off FB/Meta is that it taught us how dangerous and shitty a centralized internet is.

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.

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.

You kinda just gutted 99% of corporations. And done overall nothing for society because they already all reopened under different names.
