Mark has lied consistently, and in public, since at least 2005. My first post on Hacker News was a warning. It's a shame no one listened. https://www.quora.com

Um... downvoters should read these submissions. This guy isn’t a troll, he’s Aaron Greenspan, the creator of Facebook’s predecessor, code for which seems magically to have appeared in FB. There was a settlement: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Facebook#Aaron_Greenspan_and_houseSYSTEM https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Facebook#Aaron_...

  I downvoted because the comment just doesn't seem like a good comment. Here are some HN guidelines I feel it breaks or comes close to breaking: - Avoid unrelated controversies and generic tangents. - When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. - Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say face-to-face. Don't be snarky. - Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. Though Aaron, given the history I do understand why you'd have strong feelings about Zuck's integrity. (of course, I'm also breaking this guideline in my own comment! Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.)

    Lying in public seems pretty relevant to an article about lying to Congress. He didn't call anyone a name, he mentioned specific actions: namely, lying. I obviously can't speak to whether he'd say these things face to face, but you can't either. It sure seems like he made a good faith effort to raise his concerns, though. The articles he linked to are well reasoned and anything but shallow. Your argument, on the other hand, seems like a pretty shallow dismissal.

Thanks Aaron. You make a compelling case.

Your downvoted comment appears to be victim to some kind of coordinated and orchestrated artificial pro-facebook narrative I am seeing throughout this thread. Thank you for your 2005 warning.
