And yet, in essence, the OP could be right, too. Most of us simply cannot know how Mark or various of his minions (at whatever level) choose to use the various soap boxes they have at their disposal. Rather than oversimplifying, I think the OP is more likely correct and I fully expect Mark and team to wake up in the morning wondering how they can use their privileged access to many millions of users to advance whatever agenda they are supporting that day (political or economic); within some limits of "seemliness", of course. I expect them to act on those thoughts, too. Perhaps it is an oversimplification to bundle ideologies into a monolithic "left" and "right"; reality there is more complex than that. However, for the purposes of generalization it's not unreasonable to group people together when many of their ideologies bear resemblance to the archetypes of political division. To be overly literal about that is, itself, being overly simplistic.
