Gawker didn't get it quite right. Here's what the New Yorker article [1] actually says: > When I asked Zuckerberg about the IMs that have already been published online, and that I have also obtained and confirmed, he said that he “absolutely” regretted them. It doesn't say that Zuckerberg confirmed the particular quotation that you offered. That said, I take your point. The New Yorker author said that he had confirmed the message containing the quote, and Zuckerberg didn't deny sending the message, and he expressed regret about it.
