This is breathtakingly naive, idiotic or evil
Take your pick
It simply boggles the mind that he doesn't even consider the possibility that Facebook not having "nearly as much impact" could be preferable to our current world.
- SamReidHughes 9y agoIf you don't like Facebook, you don't have to use it.
- whatyoucantsay 9y agoAnd yet it will still build a shadow profile for you. (Also your comment isn't true for many people in marketing, community or HR positions)
- lgas 9y agoI think he just means it's fortunate from Zuck/FB's perspective, not from the perspective of the rest of the world. The context is startup success.
- whatyoucantsay 9y agoIsn't "impact" generally about social change rather than monetary success? For example, "the Khan Academy has made a tremendous impact".
