Who made Mark Zuckerberg king 👑?
A thread . . .
A thread . . .
First, I'd start with the Harvard Ad Board who in 2003 gave Mark a pass for violating university IT policies, stealing photos from private house directories, hacking into the Crimson, and harassing women with his first project Facemash. thecrimson.com/article/2003/1…
Next, I'd look at Peter Thiel, Reid Hoffman, Marc Andreessen, and other early Facebook investors who overlooked Mark's character and FB's origin story, weren't very impressed with him, and decided to invest anyway. mashable.com/2017/11/10/mar…
Next up, the @FTC for fining Facebook a mere slap on the wrist after nearly a decade of continuous privacy violations even while it was under an existing consent decree, and neglecting to ever demand any structural changes to FB's business. theverge.com/2019/7/12/2069…
Don't forget Sheryl Sandberg and the rest of FB's Board, as well as its shareholders who have allowed Mark to continue to exert near total control over the company as dual CEO & Chair of the Board, preventing any meaningful accountability. wsj.com/articles/more-…
Also the major advertisers who continued to advertise via FB even after the company failed to take action against widespread hate speech, harassment, and incitement on the platform, leading civil society to call for #stophateforprofit boycotts last summer. npr.org/2020/07/01/885…
Finally Congress for neglecting to exercise sufficient oversight for too long and failing to pass comprehensive federal #privacy legislation, biometric protection, & other meaningful laws to rein in the practices that have allowed FB to get to this point. natlawreview.com/article/compre…
