I'm not saying that Facebook have or haven't done better or worse than other companies in reality. What I'm saying is that their public reputation is atrocious

I'm not saying that Facebook have or haven't done better or worse than other companies in reality. What I'm saying is that their public reputation is atrocious at a level where the average person can understand it. Everyone's seen "The Social Network", people tune in for him testifying to congress (which he did this week, and I'd encourage you to just check out how he comes across visually compared to the others), emails saying he'll destroy other companies if they don't sell, and the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

> “ everyone knows Facebook is the living emobdiment of a psychopath” The context of this and the rest of your original post made it sound like you believe the statement as well. This comment appears to reinforce that. Again, I’m not sure how many people care about all the things you listed beyond the current trend to say how evil or bad FB and Zuckerberg are. The same trend began with Bezos a few years ago when he became the richest person and has continued. Companies most in people’s lives will naturally have the most attention. So their rich founder CEOs will get the brunt of negativity too. I don’t think the average person understands it.
