This is nonsense. What changed was that Facebook gained extreme power and became a monopoly. Zuck never learned ethics and human values and his deficiencies caused deaths and political carnage.
Silicon Valley also didn't learn the lessons, judging by @paulg's tweets.https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1083013603773566981 …
So what you're saying is that the change was not in Zuck, but in Facebook, which became a lot bigger? Hmm, that sounds familiar...

He skyrocketed into the stratosphere in terms of wealth and built the largest social network in history. Of course the media is interested in the person behind it. It also turns out that he has no morals. Are we not allowed to change our minds when new info is presented to us?

And to be honest I would expect a person such as you to be in the same camp as the rest of us. It's pretty clear the kind of person Zuck is. The only reason I'd imagine you defending him is if you had a personal relationship with him in some way.

I don't think that is what is being said. It's like promoting someone at a small startup to be a CEO of a vastly larger company; some people can grow into the greater responsibility (and different requirements of the job), and some can't, or won't.

I don't think it's either MZ or FB. I think it's the context that changed: Obama left, and Trump won, and that changed everything as to how people perceive technology.https://salon.thefamily.co/facebook-and-the-responsive-chord-7cd8863558d9 …

Indeed, but also because people/we realized how massive the impact said technology could have on our/their very lives. Few care in 2011 because they do not feel the direct csq. Trump or Brexit takes the epiphany to another level.

Similar to what? The argument seems sound that behavior folks rightly tolerate in small, young organizations becomes intolerable when those organizations scale and thereby become extremely influential.

Zuck and Facebook, aren’t these used interchangeably? and isn’t that part of the problem?

Umm...no, the issue is not scale, it's lack of ethics. Big and benevolent would never be an issue. Lack of ethics is exacerbated by scale as you impact more of society + have greater negotiation power to have it your way. Again, scale is not the issue if the ethics were in place.
