He's not wrong. Michael argues to leave Zuck alone, as he's trying to push the boundaries of innovation, and in a purely optimistic and naive world that can be true, but it's missing such nuances as argued by @acczibit. There was a time when everything on the internet was a first, or so very raw that it had yet to be exploited, it had yet to be turned into an exploitative and addictive rage brainwashing machine. But we see what happens, we see the addiction and we see the exploitation through advertising and we see how much Facebook and others enabled this to become cash printing machines. So yes people are reluctant to trust Zuck and while we could argue the other side that he's just trying to advance innovation that would otherwise occur, the question is whether we need to be more pragmatic and anticipate the ways these advancements could be exploited or exploitative.
The personal TLDR; I think Zuck thinks he's doing mankind a favour but I also know he wants everyone to live in his virtual world rather than the real one and I can't get with that.
