Literally all Zuckerberg has to do is not be the kind of person he is... his product itself did achieve success in that a huge number of people are using it, but then he had to prove himself to have no ethical standards

Literally all Zuckerberg has to do is be the same person who made him worth $80 billion.

  Your point is taken, but I think it's kind of clear Facebook's only strategies are "lie" and "copy/buy everyone else"

    And it worked perfectly fine, they only missed TikTok. Whatsapp and Instagram were perfect acquisitions.

      Worked is debatable - sure, it worked for them, but they made those platforms worse for consumers

        Facebook succeeded because it made money, which is the primary objective of for-profit companies. The government (and people) represent the interests of the people, usually.

Hitting quarterly numbers, amassing wealth and power is difficult to do if he is not doing what he does. Human greed has no limits. And once someone gets a taste of that amount of wealth and power, it is difficult to not get morally and ethically corrupt, either directly, or by turning a blind eye to reality.

Why does it seem like I'm the only one who doesn't hate Zuckerberg? I'm genuinely confused. Can someone please explain this to me? I want to understand better.

  Hate has always been popular, the punching bag just changes every few decades.

  It's funny because Zuckerberg isn't even a public figure. I'm sure someone will make some ethical claim, but I've read all the articles and they are hardly conclusive. It's probably better to just wait for a regulatory decision, otherwise you're just going to be reading someone else's agenda.
