Thanks, point more than proven.

  Mark Zuckerberg's perceived public figure does not inspire confidence either. His first actions with Facebook and the story around The Social Network have tainted Facebook for good. Note this might be far from his real personality. People I know at Facebook love him.

    I'm not sure that's true, I think The Social Network actually spun him in a positive light. I found public opinion of him improved overall.

      I think that may just be because "normal" people finally got a real person to associate with the faceless (ha!) entity that is Facebook. Shifting from "I've never heard of this man" to "his moral character aside, this man is responsible for Facebook" can be seen as an improvement.

        mmm... never thought this way. You're actually right.

    >Mark Zuckerberg's perceived public figure does not inspire confidence either. I haven't seen that movie, but let me just say that I simply can't help but deeply mistrust a person who considers privacy "obsolete" (which he has stated multiple times in the past) and, through his creation, effectively works to reduce it for everybody. I'm deeply scared of a future where you need a Facebook (and/or Google) account to do anything meaningful on the web, and I hope that we will never arrive at such a future. I won't join Facebook under any circumstance short of a gun pointed at my head.
