Why did Mark Zuckerberg take a moral stance about how people present themselves online? And why did he feel the need to enforce that stance? I thought Silicon Valley's mantra was, "We just build tools for people to express themselves how they want," but it seems more and more that they use the tools to enforce behavioral norms.

I suspect he thinks of himself as a visionary, with visionary ideas to match. His stance on authenticity is a perfect way to spin his platform's antisocial design into something noble.
