(3) makes me deeply uncomfortable. Facebook already has a terrible reputation on respect for its users. How could I possibly trust it if its leader is running for President and now has a huge motive to make sure he's seen positively on his own platform?
Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I think I'd need to see Zuckerberg completely divest himself of Facebook before I'd vote for him. Trump already has enough conflicts of interest. The last thing we need is for the next President to actually control the way huge swathes of people receive the news.
I'm also very uncomfortable with the notion of Zuckerberg mining private user data on FB in order to very precisely target voters in a way that no other Presidential candidate can. I think this sets a dangerous precedent and creates all the wrong motives for future candidates if it works.
- krick 10y agoI doubt I would ever even consider voting for Zuckerberg, but what it's worth? It doesn't matter if you or me like or don't like the idea of voting for someone for some personal reasons: it only matters how publicly-relatable these reasons are. I'm not sure if reasons you named are that much relatable for most.
