    Mark is a good, kind person

    No he’s not.

    He has done tremendous, incalculable, harm to countless people. All of our lives are worse because Zuckerberg is an asshole.

      Important: He did these things to cause harm knowingly and deliberately.

        “They trust me for some reason, Idiots.”

      Chris Hughs sucks almost as much as Zuckerberg. He fucked up his tenure as owner of The New Republic. He’s just as much of a worthlessn rich dickbag.

      Imagine knowing millions of people hate you. You’d wanna go build a giant hole in the ground to go hide. Oh wait.

      He is literally building a fallout bunker on dispited lands destroying the community, which is obviously a great example of his companies macro cultural damage.

    Any human with knowledge of the company and a decent sense of right and wrong knows it should be dismantled.

    Okay.

    And?

      I think the purpose is that this could be eye-opening for people who aren’t as tuned in as the average lemming. A co-founder of a company saying that the same company is bad and should not exist is a very workable route toward getting more kinds of people to see situations like this as what they truly are.

      Most/many of us here are just not the intended demo for articles like this, but a lack of personal relevance is not the same as a total lack of value.

        I mean it is a total lack of value, because it once again means that people listen to some rando on where our society should move towards rather than scientists. Facebook is bad for society. Don’t listen to founders, don’t listen to millionaires, don’t listen to billionaires. Listen to scientists.

        If people actually listen to this dude and not to scientists, that’s an even bigger problem, because once again people are incapable of understanding value at a basic level.

    Why should we know this?

  • MattTheProgrammer@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    This is quite the stretch of the phrase “You should know”

  • pyrinix@kbin.melroy.org ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Okay? So why hasn't he done anything while Mark was running away with it all?

    source
    • a_non_monotonic_function@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Because he hasn’t been there since 2007?

      source
      • pyrinix@kbin.melroy.org ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Okay? So why hasn't he done anything prior to his exit in 2007? What stopped him from telling Mark or seeing something in Mark that spelled malicious intent from doing the damage he'd later do?

    Why should I know this

      To have another reason to dream about bombing Facebook’s HQ.

        You know what they say, ”Don’t bomb the whistleblowers with the CEOs"

    All these monopolies need to be broken and billionaires taxed out of billionaire status.

    source
  • BroBot9000@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Roll out the guillotines if that fuckwad billionaire refuses.

    Nah, nationalize it.

  • WanderWisley@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    For anyone who hasn’t seen it you need to watch The social network movie.

  • lurch@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Since it’s US based, I’m pretty sure it will soon go down with the rest of the nation.

    Maybe trump will nationalize it, to make his propaganda posts always show at the top or some other fascist bullshit.

      Pretty sure Facebook has been paid by the gov for some time now.

    Yeah, probably so he can start a similar company and get his piece of the pie.
