> Generational Change
I could do without paid PR fluff.
"When I started Facebook, one of the reasons I cared about giving people a voice was that I thought it would empower my generation"
I'm pretty sure this was not one of his goals when he started facebook.
> A New Private Social Platform
So more facebook, just bite-sized for smaller groups.
> Decentralizing Opportunity
Essentially libra.
> The Next Computing Platform
Oculus.
> New Forms of Governance
"There are a number of areas where I believe governments establishing clearer rules would be helpful, including around elections, harmful content, privacy, and data portability. I've called for new regulation in these areas and over the next decade I hope we get clearer rules for the internet."
Although I somewhat sympathize with his predicament here, whose regulation is he talking about? If governments step in, then facebook would have to ultimately fracture into national facebooks. US, European nations, India, Middle eastern nations, etc are not going to have the same ideas about elections, harmful content, privacy and data portability. Even within the US, we are not going to have real consensus on this issue. This is where principles could help, but principles always seem to lose to political and financial interests.
In short, zuckerburg envisions we'll be using facebook on oculus paying with libra while governments solve all of facebooks intractable problems for him.
