I feel like I should have stopped reading at "founding bro" – surely there are better jabs to make at the man than to infantilize and ascribe him a personality

I feel like I should have stopped reading at "founding bro" – surely there are better jabs to make at the man than to infantilize and ascribe him a personality he doesn't even have.
Though the author advocates for privacy, he also lets slip a different discomfort:
"Facebook apparently had no qualms about handing over access to your data to the charlatans working on behalf Cambridge Analytica—expending nary a moment’s time vetting them or worrying about whatever ulterior motives they might have had for collecting so much sensitive information."
I'm reading this in the most cynical way, so forgive me the desire to read it in the worst light, but it telegraphs that the real problem to some isn't the ever greater violation (and abolishing) of privacy, but that it is being performed by unvetted undesirables.
