I wonder exactly where everything kind of went south for Mark and his platform, or was this always the goal since Facebook's inception

- AlexandrB 2mo agoIt went south around this point: Zuck: Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard Zuck: Just ask. Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS [Redacted Friend's Name]: What? How'd you manage that one? Zuck: People just submitted it. Zuck: I don't know why. Zuck: They "trust me" Zuck: Dumb fucks. I don't know why anyone trusted anything that came out of Zuckerberg's mouth for the last 20 years.

HN commenters would argue he has since changed, that he's older and wiser But I also recall reading about a conversation he had with a classmate who started a similar database of student information at Harvard. Like the Winklevoss twins, he thought Zuckerberg was copying his idea. I believe he went on to create a website of searchable case law. Was his name Greenspan, I can't remember Anyway, the gist of what I remember is that in a conversation with Greenspan, Zuckerberg specifically cited federal court as the place where his dishonesty would hit a wall, or something like that Many years and billions of dollars later, it seems like this may be coming true
