Of course it's baked into the culture of the company. The CEO famously called his users "dumb fucks"[1] for trusting him with their data. As far as I'm concerned there's no reason to think his basic attitude has changed. Just the messaging has gotten better.

> The CEO famously called his users "dumb fucks"[1] The sourcing for that claim is extremely poor. The Esquire article links to a Business Insider article from 2010, which in turn cites "anonymous sources" on a 2004 IM conversation: > According to SAI sources, the following exchange is between a 19-year-old Mark Zuckerberg and a friend shortly after Mark launched The Facebook in his dorm room

  Amendment: the Esquire and SAI sourcing is poor, but the New Yorker is more credible on this point, partly because it interviewed Zuckerberg. See https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=jbullock35#33099479 https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=jbullock35#33099479.
