> but than Sean Parker never gave back the millions he earned via past Facebook impl's...so his point is somewhat entirely hollow.. That's not true at all. His explicit confession makes what once could only be speculation something much closer to a believable truth, which means people can do more about it. Chiding him for not donning sack-cloth in penance just undermines what good his statements could do. > Its like a gun manufacturer saying automatics are bad but still making them Does he even still work for them?

Instead of giving back, I'd agree if he paid (even some of) it forward and created an anti-FB/Goog/etc group that fought and lobbied for changes.

  FB can withstand occasional bad press, but they can't withstand divestiture. I imagine Zuck's knives would come out in full force if Parker announced he was engaging your suggestion.

    Interesting. So what would the "knives coming out" look like?

      Likely a PR campaign, which wouldn't have his name on the byline, natch.

What's even more hypocritical is how the psychological foundations of their business model are never mentioned at launch, but out they come when FB has to justify something or are being criticized (as in Parker's instance). It's always after the fact, even though they are undoubtedly employing experts in the field to develop their features.
