One of the most interesting parts of this column is that it is published in the Washington Post. You can't ignore the fact that this was likely run past Jeff Bezos, and Zuckerberg knows that. In almost all other circumstances, opinion columns from Mark were published on his public Facebook profile (example: "Building Global Community" [1]). The context of releasing this on WaPo is important as it represents an explicit call-to-action to the broader "community" of big tech (not just facebook.com). On the other hand, it represents an implicit approval of that call-to-action for Jeff Bezos (and thus Amazon).
I'd love to hear about the behind-the-scenes politicking that led to this mode of public outreach.
