It was viscerally satisfying to hear, but Roger Waters has also made a name for himself as a ‘Syria Truther’ - going out of his way to spread lies about Syria, claiming Assad never used chemical weapons, and maligning the White Helmets. Roger Waters is no hero. Edit - here’s one source: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5621847/Roger-Waters-condemns-Syrian-air-strikes-denounces-White-Helmets-fake.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5621847/Roger-Water... There are many others you can find by searching “Roger Waters Syria”.

Why not fuck both of them? :-) The only positive thing about this is, that a fuck you from Waters might be actually heard by Zuck and maybe cause a minuscule amount of sadness.

  I really doubt that Mark Zuckerberg would care. He might shrug if off as a missed marketing opportunity, but this man has no understanding of how incompatible the the sentence "We don't need no education, we don't need no thought control." is with any of his undertakings, or what it takes to show some respect to values humanity tries to embrace. He exploits those weaknesses. He pretends to work towards that greater goal, talks about it but fails to recognize that he's just doing this to increase his hold on power. "Yes, I'm draining our rivers but I do this to deliver the water directly to you, don't you see?"

Don’t relate someone’s action to previous actions without sources and especially when they are from entirely different domains. It comes across as a shallow attack. I’m saying this as it irked me - and I don’t even know who this Roger guy is.

> claiming Assad never used chemical weapons You mean the assertion made by western governments without any actual evidence and which was later confirmed to be politically motivated by OPCW whistleblowers? Where have I seen this script before? Oh right, it's because it was the same one used in Iraq.
