There is no governance beyond zuckerberg currently and he has proven that he is aligned with zuckerberg and not society. Continuing with the status quo and doing nothing does not seem like a good idea to me.

The entire company was built on the assumption that being connected to as many people as possible is net good. You can probably argue that he's wrong on this, but it's hard to say that he just cares about himself.
- bostonsre 5y agoI doubt it, but I guess its possible that is his only true north. If it is, he is going about it in a Machiavellian or Caesar like manner where he does not care about the impact he has while attaining those goals. But I also think it's possible that his actions are those of someone who is power hungry and does not care about what happens in his wake.
