"Laws apply to everyone" is theoretical.

In practice, they don't.

Laws theoretically apply to Mark Zuckerberg, and he has broken them. But because he is wealthy and powerful, the justice system does not attempt to hold him accountable for breaking those laws.

Therefore, the result is the same as if the laws did not apply to him in the first place.
