That's why disclosure needs to start at the top and come from someone big enough to survive the fallout. If (for example) Zuckerberg genuinely wanted to do good and grew a pair, he'd do it. He's too busy exploiting your data to get rich and virtue signaling via acquisitions though.

Do you think the government wouldn't throw Zuckerberg in jail?
They might, but he'd have better odds than your average Joe (and certainly a better legal team).

"With great power comes great responsibility" isn't just a line from a movie. Of course we can choose not to hold our leaders to high expectations, but that leads to a markedly worse world for the rest of us.

> virtue signaling via acquisitions though.

This makes no sense.
