what a pant load. I think the guy is a scuz-ball, regardless of his motivations he still did some pretty horrible things. The parts of the film that were fictional are really meaningless. Zuckerberg has every intention of screwing everyone's privacy over while they agree to it.

When you sugn up for one of these sites you have no privacy. I find it funny that anyone thinks anything they put up on these places is actually secure and private.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

if you want privacy, don't go around on the web spewing personal information. it's like putting a box of pizza on the table in a room of hundreds at a pizza party and telling everybody not to eat it. most likely its gonna get eaten, and nobody will give a s**t about your complaints.

I don't think people are spewing private details. Personally I don't trust Facebook in anyway. My point is that no one should trust him, or trust the company. Monetizing people private details is *not cool*.

i don't trust facebook with my details either. but i accept the risk because i think the benefits i gain from facebook outweighs the privacy i might lose. after all, most people are in what they do for money, they gotta get money somehow.

yes, I have no issue with Facebook making money. I think they make a ton of money off their games alone. I don't use my real name, I don't post pics of myself and I ask that none of my friends tag me in photos. at first my friends thought I was a little loopy, then I pointed out that Facebook is using facial recognition software to track you and then find you in other photos on the internet... my friends all think I'm brilliant now... I probably am a little loopy, but at least I'm loopy and untraceable.

Silly article. The movie was never meant to turn him into a hero, and it didn't end up sving him.
terrymclFeb 28, 2011
I agree. However the movie has done him more popular.

The Social Network turned Zuckerburg from villain to hero, just like Fox News turned Julian Assange from hero into villain.

Raping women will make you a villain without Fox News' help.

Raping != consensual sex with a CIA asset without a condom (which is what he was accused of).

Strange. Everyone seems to know about the lack of concern for privacy in facebook and yet they've over 6 million users. So, it is more like facebook users don't care about it.

Over 500 million.

Thanks for the correction. I find it even more strange as the number grows.

It's not really that strange. Facebook is popular, despite privacy concerns, because the advantages of using it as a networking and socializing tool outweigh the concerns. Until there's a real demonstrable cause for concern from the privacy breach, i.e., Facebook somehow causes private messages to people's former significant others to be visible to their current significant others, people will turn a blind eye to what Zuckerberg's staff is capable of learning from the depths of their profiles and connections.

Good one.. Vote up. So long as they have not lost something significant because of the privacy issues, the would not mind the lapses.

The problem is that people muddle the individual spirit of entrepreneurism and discovery, decorated with brilliantly scripted quips in the film, with the rather bleak reality of what Facebook is today.
We're a long way from the exciting, embryonic Stanford days. Zuckerberg's baby is a digital tumour. It doesn't make anything. It doesn't say anything. And it doesn't even do anything apart from sit in on relationships that already existed and sell information about your own interests back to you.
The funniest thing I heard recently was from a friend who reactivated Facebook for no other reason than to 'log in' and post a picture of his latest stool. Then 'log' back out again. This is perhaps the single best piece of contemporary cultural commentary I have ever heard.
The best bit? That stool may have been culled by the moderators, but sure enough it's sitting there somewhere on Facebook's servers, because Facebook never deletes anything.
