1. Publically degraded Erica Albright on her breast size publically--because little Marky got his ego bruised. 2. Stole the idea for Facebook from paying clients. 3. Tricked his best friend in college into signing his (Eduardo) share of Facebook over to him. 4. Publicly stating his customers were stupid in trusting him with personal information. 5. Printing up "I'm CEO bitch!" while he was swimming in money. 6. Marrying his college girlfriend--most likely because he knew he would never know if the opposite sex liked him for his money, or his kind soul? (She was interested in him after FB was famous.) 7. Moves into a SF mansion and buys out every house in proximity to his home. 8. Buys a huge swath of Hawaiian land, and then put up huge fences so the locals will not be able to cross. 9. Does the usual wealthy boy 501c3 tax dodge. 10. Has the audacity to believe he could run run for president, and poses on a few tractors in the midwest, but gives up when it wasn't fun, and people found him insincere. 11. Tells congress to enact strict rules for Social media, knowing most startups couldn't afford enforcing the new laws. 12. Buying any competition. 13. Buy up prime commercial real estate in San Francisco during a pandemic. Telling his employees they can work at home. I'm counting the days he brings in the troops so he can monitor their performance. 14. Donates 20 million to a SF hospital, but demands his name is front and center. 15. I don't hate the guy. He's a product of his generation. Sorry---a small percentage of his generation. Marky is all about money, and most of you guys arn't. A real role model?

> 1. Publically degraded Erica Albright on her breast size publiccally--because little Marky got his ego bruised. I can't find any mention of this; in fact, it seems this person (Erica) only exists in the "the social network" movie. There seems to be a "real" Erica, but I found nothing about snide comment from his side. > 4. Publicly stating his customers were stupid in trusting him with personal information. I'm pretty sure he did so privately; that's not better, though. > 5. Printing up "I'm CEO bitch!" while he was swimming in money. That's a bit childish maybe, but if he enjoys that. > 9. Does the usual wealthy boy 501c3 tax dodge. I have yet to meet someone who likes to pay more taxes. Most of the people reading this are part of the most wealthy people of the world right now and yet they minimize their taxes as well. I can't blame anyone for using the system to their advantage; it's the system that is faulty. But anyway. All of these don't picture him in a good light, sure, but overall none of these are absolute "killing blows". We have politicians with a criminal record that makes Zuckerberg look like a poster child. As I said in my original comment: I don't think he is a particularly good guy and I don't want to defend him. But when you compare him to the overall political elite, that small smear is really not the end of the world.

I can't really fault him for 6 or 14. Or really for 9 - it's how the laws are written, not by him, and at least he's not, afaik, doing the hypocritical dance of "raise the taxes, I won't be paying them anyway!". The rest is plenty, though, and his wholehearted embrace of censorship doesn't add any points.
