I do, in case you missed that. I don't think we should be giving people credit for PR "philanthropy".

  Very few people are saints but if the data is useful or interesting then I don't really care. I think probably most philanthropists have some motives besides altruism.

    I'd prefer credit be given to the people actually doing the work. I think it's an insult to the people at Measures for Justice for Zuckerberg to be absorbing positive PR for their work.

      The credit was given to Amy Bach repeatedly throughout the article, I'm not sure how you missed that. One of the many funding organizations happens to be funded by Mark Zuckerberg which makes for interest catching headlines but they're certainly not alone in funding the project. https://www.measuresforjustice.org/about/overview/ https://www.measuresforjustice.org/about/overview/ >Bach’s work has attracted the attention of the tech industry’s increasingly activist leadership. Earlier this year, Google.org awarded Measures for Justice a $1.5 million grant. Today, Mark Zuckerberg’s Chan Zuckerberg Initiative announced it is giving $6.5 million to the non-profit to help it expand into California.

  We should. You can give someone credit for "pr_philanthropy" without giving them credit for "philanthropy". They still did a thing, and as people, they're allowed to do a thing for multiple reasons. (Each of us are vast, and contain multitudes. We do not need to be self-consistent.)

  My mom made me a cake last week, my favorite type of cake. It was great, but she made it only to pamper me, not because she really wanted to do it. You are such a poser mom.
