Also note Facebook’s business model is hugely profitable. It’s hugely profitable to digitise people and own that digital copy to use as a proxy for manipulating future behaviour. They have absolutely zero market-based reason to better themselves. Regulate the shit out of them!

Facebook is clearly a surveillance capitalist enterprise, but I don't think that Zuckerberg is disingenuous about 'caring'. I think he really believes that FB has a communitarian mission and that this has grown larger in his mind. That makes them even more dangerous, if anything.

Indeed, I mean which one of us hasn’t called the people who trust us “dumb fucks” at some point or other? I bet the intervening years of astronomic fortune that rewarded those foundations have made him far more compassionate towards the livestock his factory farm processes.pic.twitter.com/9AScArI1Ny

Of course, but I think he's 'grown up' a lot since then. But then, as I said, I think this makes things worse. If FB is your average capitalist exploiter, that's bad enough. But if he's now 'the answer' to Trump and authoritarian governments, then we've got a harder task.
