Ive chuckled at rude thoughts, sure. Ive not thought of building a technology to humiliate people for my amusement. Its an important distinction.

We are talking about a man (and his company) who began with a site that, per Wikipedia, "allowed visitors to compare two female student pictures side-by-side and let them decide who was hot or not." Imagine being subjected to such childish humiliation. Of course I also did stupid and childish things as a young adult. But I never thought things like this:

"I'm a little intoxicated, not gonna lie. So what if it's not even 10 pm and it's a Tuesday night? What? The Kirkland dormitory facebook is open on my desktop and some of these people have pretty horrendiedous facebook pics. I almost want to put some of these faces next to pictures of some farm animals and have people vote on which is more attractive."

That is just mean. To me it reveals his vision from the beginning was to prey on people's worst instincts.

Marc Zuckerberg is, I fear (because of his enormous power), a man devoid of empathy. This is the root of Facebook, and that is the problem with Facebook.
