While I think this 14 year old and story is authentic, I think this will be misused as a motivational story to fuel Zuckerberg's new white-knighting of privacy concerns. It's really important that Facebook be held to account for their negative influence, and not be allowed to distract with lofty future promises, and co-opt innocent peoples stories for cheap publicity.

I remember the “vote” they held that essentially gave away any further say in how those kinds of decisions are made. “We heard you loud and clear–you didn’t vote, you must not care, so we’ll do whatever we want with your stuff now.” (Paraphrasing) of course they never actually intended it to be a democratic platform and knew full well what the results would be before even announcing it.
