I've always looked at Facebook with suspicion. The Congressional hearings amounted to nothing.
I never once believed that the platform was a tool for good. Its always been way to exploitable, a harbinger of chaos. Let's face it, fake news travels faster and reaches more people than facts. Facebook greases the wheels of propaganda,but I don't believe that was Zuckerberg's intent.
I've watched the brilliant film The Social Network, Jesse Eisenberg gave a driven maniacal performance as Zuckerberg - but I took the story with a grain of salt. I do believe that Facebook is Zuckerberg's brain child, Severin helped with the development but it was Zuckerberg baby. As for the Winklevoss Twins, they were nothing more than elitist dumb jocks who made off with more than they deserved.
Having said that, even though he belongs in the highest etch echelons with Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, Zuckerberg hasn't done himself any favours.
