- est31 6y agoI think GP is downvoted because of a misunderstanding. I think GP wanted to highlight the "dumb fucks" quote of Zuckerberg, where he refers to people uploading data to his platform with that term. That quote became public in 2010, almost half a decade before 2014. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#Quotes https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg#Quotes
- jameshart 6y agoThat sentiment is of course not, originally, attributable to kps though. Regarding people who ascribe benign intent to Facebook, it was first expressed by one M Zuckerberg. In 2004. And first reported by Business Insider in 2010.
- Karunamon 6y agoIn 2004, yes. 16 years ago. I'd hate to be judged for immature statements I made nearly two decades ago.
- liability 6y agoWhether or not it's fair to judge people for things they said 16 years ago when none of their subsequent actions or statements give any reason to believe they're a different person today isn't germane to the point, which is that Facebook/Zuckerberg's poor reputation are not new.
- Karunamon 6y agoI guess I tire of that (second hand, mind) quote being brought up as if it's relevant to anything today.
- liability 6y agoThat's my point though; it may be irrelevant in many cases, but it is relevant to the matter of how long Zuckerbeg has had a poor reputation. Such a question obviously calls for the examination of old stories and quotes.
- causality0 6y agoI'd wager Facebook does much worse things with your data now than they were doing in 2004.
- squeaky-clean 6y agoDumb Fucks is Mark Zuckerberg quote about his users that leaked in 2010. Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard Zuck: Just ask Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS [Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one? Zuck: People just submitted it. Zuck: I don't know why. Zuck: They "trust me" Zuck: Dumb fucks Really, comment got flagged? https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Mark_Zuckerberg
