I mean a good argument against Facebook (and by proxy Zuckerberg) is that Facebook designs the product in a way that benefits them rather than the psychological well being of their users.
Do companies like Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Netflix, Google, etc prioritize their customers over their own interests? Other companies in tech or outside of tech?
I don't think Facebook is some well run charity doing philanthropy - I just don't think they are meaningfully worse than their peers. I do think there is a concerted media campaign to malign Facebook and I think this is where the differential in how people think of Facebook versus these other companies comes from.
…is this statement not true for any, say, Fortune 100 company?
Does P&G put the psychological health of their customers over their own profits? Does Walmart? Apple? Exxon?
One might be able to make the slightly stronger argument is that the average user’s psychological health is more at odds with Facebook’s interests/profits than most other companies — putting it in the same category as, perhaps, Phillip Morris — but even that is not an argument against Facebook or Zuckerberg; any company in the same position would likely be doing the same kind of thing.
