>What confuses the hell out of me is that i always saw from childhood US executives are held accountable for their company's action. Any scandal and i would see the CEO step down.

You are confusing regular random CEOs who get hired to run a company with someone like Zuck who founded a company and is still closely tied to its identity. Remember the mess after Steve Jobs was forced out of Apple?

That actually has little to do with why "Zuck" is still there, it's because he has special voting rights that make him immovable. Ditto for the Google founders.

Take that away and we'd see the actual truth of his utility to Facebook and its shareholders.
