Zuck doesn't seem very self-aware.

If you are in the middle of a massive scandals (multiple massive scandals) about major issues like privacy, enabling genocide in certain countries, etc, if you really, really cared, your first step would be to stop what you are doing and fix things.

Instead of taking accountability, Zuck like always has some dumbass excuse about being "humbled". But humble people show they are humble.

If HN gets confused about why there is so much rage at people like Zuck, it's because we can actively see our lives getting worse because at 19 brolord here figured out how to get college kids to sign up for website. I mean, great idea, but I feel like that might, just might affect how you see the rest of the world and nobody in society agreed to this.

He needs to show that he's responsible, that he's grown up. Instead he's doing the next big thing and the next big thing is what any teenager that watched a recent Spielberg money would come up with. If Zuck and some of these tech savants want to impress people maybe they need to finish college so they don't still sound like high schoolers in their 30s.

We should demand more. We're tired of people like Sam and Graham and Zuck complaining about how hard it is when people criticize their work. They want to have insane wealth and have people kiss their ass.

In what way did your life get worse because of Facebook?
It curates the presentation of people in your life to maximize their profit, not your happiness. Actual problems aside, that’s not a friend I want
I no longer speak to several family members because they were radicalized thanks to information & groups that Facebook fed to them.

Is it FB’s fault that they fell for it? No. Is it FB’s fault for recommending them very obvious QAnon groups? Yes. Especially since Facebook was aware of the misinformation on its platform: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/facebook-documents-misinformati...

Or you can ask the victims of the genocide enabled by Facebook: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/15/technology/myanmar-facebo...

I’m glad it seemingly hasn’t effected you, but doesn’t mean others don’t feel that impact.

Somewhat tangential: It’s a reflection of how weak family ties in the west are. Politics almost never rends families apart in the rest of the world.
