What did Zuckerberg do?

Maybe he did do something, but hearing "Boo Fuckerberg!" over and over again doesn't imply he's guilty of anything. It's similar to hearing "it's the Jooos" a bajillion effing times and then believing it without asking for any substance.



Have a look at my favorite submissions and search for Facebook.



Zuckerberg profits by replacing normal human social interaction with ad-infested parasitic addictive pseudo-socialization that drives a sobering % of the population to worse mental states


Unfortunately, a immoral as that sounds, it's not illegal.


True. It would benefit society to come up with a new framework of thinking about widespread forces on society enabled by tech. It’s not something we’ve needed to deal with in the past. And it’s clear that so much harm can be done.


Did he break any laws?


If being a greedy parasocial sociopathic addiction designer put you in prison, every single FAANG executive would be jailed without trial and the American economy would collapse within 24 hours.

Suffice to say, we hold the bar for criminality a bit higher than that.


You're right, by using Zuckerberg as an example of a CEO that probably has some culpability (in my opinion), I've accidentally sounded like the "billionaires bad" memers. My bad.
