Just generally stop with the personality cult bullshit, both positive and negative.
As much as I think the best thing that could happen to FB is to just vanish, I can't "hate" this guy I never met who never ever seemed happy and now just looks tired. I doubt the author does, either. So why lie about it? That's both kinda pathetic and predictably unhelpful. It's not like the article doesn't contain information, but that framing sucks.
There's a lot to be said about the actions and words of Facebook as a whole, and of Mark Zuckerberg, but it does more harm than good if it's with the intent to make it about Facebook and Zuckerberg, instead of those things no matter who happens to do or say them, and our responsibilities not just in response, but in action rather than just reaction.
