Am I the only naive one who's digested this article at face value? I mean he's providing a service an encouraging the denizens to build upon it. WTF is wrong with that?
The very first picture looks like something on the front of tabloid?
Hey, it's me, Mark, just taking a stroll with my two cool Nigerian friends...
It's a mix between tabloid journalism, pr puff piece, great man narrative, and a new brand of American imperialism. It's shameless in its portrayal of these poor hard-working people as having their lives made better by Zuckerberg showing up saying "awesome" and doing a very public tour which boosts his brand.
Other people do this stuff, but they don't get this kind of attention.
You can't take anything Facebook, Google, or a number of the other big social media giants do at face value anymore. Check out their backgrounds, the politicians they are very chummy with, and what they censor. Business is war and the American social media giants need footholds in the 3rd world if they are going to combat the Chinese, etc.
