facebook would be a shitty ruler
And Mark Zuckerberg. You’ve talked, at length, about Facebook’s support of the independent press and now we have a test that goes beyond a slogan. One of your board members just bankrupted an independent blog that was often highly critical of Facebook. And he’s not stopping. Just yesterday, Thiel’s lawyer threatened a new multimillion dollar lawsuit against Gawker for writing a negative piece about Donald Trump. Who, as you know, is also the candidate Peter Thiel is supporting and representing as a delegate.
When does this stop? Facebook is one of the most influential companies in the world, even if all of this is legal, is this ethical? Is this the kind of behavior that we can expect from the Facebook board? Mark Zuckerberg has yet to really comment on Thiel. This is one of those moments where we will learn what Facebook means when it says it’s mission is to give people the power to share and make the world more connected.
