    “Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard

    Zuck: Just ask.

    Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS

    [Redacted Friend’s Name]: What? How’d you manage that one?

    Zuck: People just submitted it.

    Zuck: I don’t know why.

    Zuck: They “trust me”

    Zuck: Dumb fucks.“

      How the fuck did Harvard students act so stupid and give out their info like that? I thought they were like the smartest people in the US. 🤔

        Most Harvard students are still just 18-22 year old “kids”. Think of how dumb/naive you were at that age.

          Try telling that to a 18-22 yr old. You think you know everything at that age. Then you get older and realize no one knows any fucking thing

            To be fair, when you’re at that age and come into contact with dozens of “adults” that never mentally grew past 12, you’re bound to think you’re “very smart”.

            There’s a reason second-year students are called sophomores. It’s a compound with the same roots as “sophisticated” and “moron”. It literally means “learned idiot”. It’s referring to the students who have a year of schooling under their belt, and think that they understand everything about the world. It’s basically referring to the Dunning-Krueger Effect, where people who know very little about something are the most likely to overestimate their knowledge on the topic.

          As a 21 year old I would be offended but then I remember I just admitted my exact age on the internet

      This is still I think the most telling glimpse into who the “ZUCK” really is. Looking at what meta has become, how it has operated… No matter how professional and respectable he acts.

      This is who he really is.

        I don’t it’s a fair assessment - dude was just a kid.

        I’ve watched some podcasts and interviews and I think he’s a much more complex of a person. I do genuinely think he’s thinks he’s doing good and I do think that Meta stuff is a net benefit to the humanity.

        Even if you hate Facebook it brought people together in so many places, especially if you consider developing world.

          The problem I see is that you’ve bought into his lie. He might “sound” genuine in thinking he’s done good, much like Bill Gates sounds genuine when he talks about his philantropic shenanigans. It’s all an act.

          The only net benefit I see off FB/Meta is that it taught us how dangerous and shitty a centralized internet is.

          Doing good does not absolve you of having done evil.

          Zuck has utterly failed in preventing facebook from doing clear, preventable, harm.

          I don’t get to walk free, no matter how many homeless people I feed, if I kill one.

          The same should go for corporations. If they do evil, once, they should done. Not fined. There is no math which makes the bad that facebook does, necessary to achieve the good it does.

          Have you watched ‘The Social Dilemma’?

          Facebook actively promotes things that will make you scared and angry, because those are the emotions that drive the most engagement and get the most clicks.
