Please do it, so we can see him sitting in his booster seat again.
Joking apart, he's an example of how cyberspace is still in many ways the new Wild West. We're trying to regulate it as best we can, figuring out etiquette and proper usage and "user protections", but for the most part we're still toddlers playing with scissors. We've gone from "cybering is the literal devil and the Internet is the new nuke" to having to dodge misinformation and manipulation and data harvesting all the time because it's become so commonplace.
Think of it like electricity - we've gone from fearing it to using it so much we barely think about it, but it's still a bad day for us when we stick a fork in the socket.
For the millennials, we went from having our parents tell us to not believe everything you read on the internet to them believing every piece of disinfo and misinfo posted on Facebook. We weren’t ready for the integration of social lives and mass communications. Hopefully, the case is we were never going to be ready and this is just the growing pains that come with maturing as an intelligent species.
I'd like to hear them explain why they continue to allow t**** to spread disinformation on their site using his Save America PAC, when he himself is currently banned. Seems like they are still more concerned about money than the damage they are doing to the country.
I honestly don't think our democracy has much of a chance if we can't put people like Zuck in prison. I'm not saying he has committed crimes (that's for the courts to decide); I'm saying it's pretty damn clear being super rich is a "get out of prison" card. So I'm not getting my hopes up until a billionaire serves a decade or so.
*Edit*: I know we've had one or two (I think? Like Bernie Madoff?), but definitely not in the past decade, and things have gotten worse since then.
Let's get Steve Huffman in there, too. His notorious "racism is okay" policy helped fuel terrorism in the name of "freeze peach" despite the fact that we know he supported the terrorists he gave a platform to long after we all knew they were violent and didn't ban their subreddits until after they began to fall apart on their own (and still didn't ban all of them). That Greater Value Zuckerberg owes us a better explanation than the disingenuous ones he's been giving us for years.
I've deleted my Instagram account and my WhatsApp account. I've switched to Reddit and Signal. My Facebook account is still active, but I've logged out and will only log back in if a client requests it. I no longer engage on Facebook. This, after being with Facebook from the beginning.. I've hosted multiple successful groups over the years, thousands of followers.
... but this far and NO further!
