Zuckerberg, Mark
Facebook founder/programmer, 2003 – present. Facebook
is both business and media.
Little IT education. Second-year
college
dropout majoring in
psychology and
computer science. Pretends he's an IT expert; see
Artificial
Intelligence: Savior, Antichrist, or
Hyperbole?
Like most of the Web, a lot of the problems with Facebook,
particularly security problems, which includes privacy, is
just bad programming (computer science), which existed from
when Zuckerberg founded/programmed Facebook.
Zuckerberg majored in psychology so he could manipulate people
and, like many who go into psychology, to understand his own
mental problems.
Facebook started as a sexual harassment website when
Zuckerberg was in college. He illicitly obtained photos of
women students and then posted them in pairs and asked who was
hotter. See
Facebook
Has A Database Of User ID Photos. He was nearly expelled
for this. If it had happened these days, he would have been
expelled, and much worse would have befallen him.
Zuckerberg stole the idea for Facebook as a social networking
website, after taking money to create a social networking
website, and he was successfully sued for millions for
this.
Zuckerberg's corrupt behavior increased, since it was held
even less in check, as Facebook grew, which it did
dramatically. For example, see
Insecure
Facebook Demands Your Passport, Bank Statements, Medical
Records, ... and
Facebook
Reads Your And Government Officials'/Politicians'
Email.
This corruption, including monopolistic business practices,
explains Zuckerberg's and Facebook's success, not any IT
genius on his part (dumb luck also played a part).
For example, Zuckerberg foolishly hired Facebook and Yahoo
data breaches IT incompetent Chief Information Security
Officer (CISO)
Alex
Stamos; see
Yahoo-Then-Facebook
CISO Alex Stamos Allows Yet Another Massive Data
Breach.
Once Facebook effectively had a monopoly, Zuckerberg's
corruption turned to being Big Brother (see mentioned
articles) and censoring non-politically-correct speech, for
which Congress has been investigating him (see
Fake
Federal Facebook Fury Finally
Finished).
