Maro, I don't know if you're familiar with the whole story but when this started he used some laws to force the lands into auction against the will of the people who lived there. It is not as if he was knocking on the door, announcing a nice deal and accepting no as an answer, which even I who don't like the guy would think it is ok.
He started by using a legal maneuver called "quiet title and partition" which forces under developed land into auction to the highest bidder (which will of course be him). Once he sues using this, the defendant has about 20 days to respond. Since there is a "quiet" part to this maneuver, it means you might not know what is happening until it is too late.
Hawaii land laws are tricky. The history of its monarchy and its demise is heartbreaking but it helps one understand what has happened to land rights over there over time. Zuckerberg is just another rich white person, going there and doing anything necessary to secure a large estate to the detriment of natives and whoever lives there now.
