Facebook CEO Called Trusting Users ''Dumb F***s''

[tommysch]

The INTERNET isn't a safe place to put your identity dumb f*cks!

 

[Trialsking]

Thats why don't have a Facebook account. People are just asking for truoble putting too info online.

Zuckerberg's early involvement with Harvard ConnectU and reported sabotage would indicate a fundamental problem with ethics.

Mark Zuckerberg is right. People who trust the internet with private info are dumb f*cks.

However, from the interviews of him on 60 minutes, he is still by far the most colossal bag of nerdscrote I've ever seen.

 

[Hilarion]

He started a site for others to share their information with their friends. He implied he could be trusted. Originally he stated that your information would be safe.

He has violated all of these standards under which he started.

He has demonstrated callous disregard for the privacy of the site users calling them Dumb F*cks for trusting him even though he asked them to and originally promised that he could be trusted.

Facebook should be taken down and it's owners arrested for fraud and perpetrating a scam at the very least. Especially with the egregious comment revealed in that IM exchange and the current push to make everyone's information completely open on the site, whether the people want it that way or not.

There will always be crooks and scam artists, it seems. The more blatant ones should certainly be prosecuted. Mark Zuckerberg should be right up there at the top of that list.

Those of you who appear to agree with him are aiding and abetting a culture of the same sort.

The news could say that this dialog happened a long time ago, but I think it is more like a few days ago.

I hate to say I told you so but.....Ahhh who the heck am I kidding ive been waiting for this and am happy to say I TOLD YOU SO.

 

[zorky9]

That was then. Having grown this big, I hope Facebook/Zuck have developed the ethical and social responsibilities needed running a social networking site. Heck, if you're making millions out of your members, you should at least have the moral responsibility to protect them.

On the other hand, if you publish sensitive information/pictures on your profile, you are indeed a dumb f**k.

 

[Euphoria_MK]

Yes, I never liked Facebook. As most of my friends decided to post their whole lives on it....

You have to be brain dead to post some stuff I see online... But I guess most Facebook users are....

Jane: Where you drunk when you wrote this article? Take a second pass and correct the typo's and atrocious sentence structure.

 

[watchmekill]

How do you apologize to 400 million people for insulting them and pointing out their lack of intelligence? You can't.

You don't ask sheep for forgiveness. Sheep move to where the grass is greener. It is the way of the web.

 

[hallock]

just a word for the people who are deleting their account. Does it really matter if you do so your info that was submitted and uploaded is already in their database, deleting it won't make a dam different!!! Just re-frame from putting up private stuff simple as that.

 

[Guest]

there's a simple solution, don't put anything online you don't want EVERYONE to see or know about. Nothing is secure on the interwebs, just look at all the "ex-girlfriend" porn sites.

[citation][nom]GeOMan[/nom]Well people giving out their private details to strangers are ''Dumb F***s''Didn't their parents teach them not to talk to strangers?[/citation]
My mother taught me to talk to strangers.
Only way to meet new people.

And I get mod warnings for swearing in a article, is Mr. Zuck immune to this?

 

[crusak]

Personally I have never posted anything that I would be ashamed of on facebook or anywhere else on the internet. I also don't put my address, date of birth or other vital info on the internet - that's nuts.
I'm amused at the people on FB that post pictures of embarassing stuff - someday it will come back to haunt them.
I'm also amused at the paranoia about facebook - if you are careful about what you put there, you'll not have any worries.

[citation][nom]jerreece[/nom]My wife just "Permanently" deleted her Facebook account last night. Apparently it's not very easy to do (there's a wiki How-To on how to do it).The problem with Facebook is that all the privacy settings by "Default" are set to "Public".[/citation]
Just because the general public can't find your profile anymore doesn't mean it's not still on Facebook's servers somewhere.

Mind you this article does note the IM message was from his earlier years.

Probably when Facebook first launched and wasn't popular. Granted that type of attitude is never acceptable, but at the time I doubt any of them were taking Facebook very seriously since it really hadn't caught on yet.

 

[steiner666]

LOL, At least he's admitting the truth!

 

[vgdarkstar]

Yeah... No, he's pretty much right.

This is already known isn't it? That was the point of starting the site in the first place - to get dirt on other Harvard students. Then it became public domain after it was successful at Harvard. At least, that's the story I read.
