There was an assault on our electoral process and Zuckerberg turned a blind eye. Because . . . money. Tried to wiggle out of accountability.

Bad decision!

No offense, but,

I believe he watched and learned, so that he could put the same scheme to work for himself someday.

Blind ambition, more like.

Still, bad decision.

All these bad actors share certain qualities: Arrogance, stupidity (in that no one thought they'd be tracked, surveilled?), greed and yes, raw ambition and desire for power.

The whole thing is sickening.

....his main connection to Christie is their mutual love of charter schools and blaming education woes on public schools and teachers unions. And my NJ Senator and likely presidential candidate Corey Booker was and is right there with them on that issue (to say nothing of our former Democratic education secretary and Obama appointee Arne Duncan.

So yeah, Zuckerberg sucks and facebook sucks, but I think he's largely apolitical as far as I can tell except on this particular issue, and it's one of those issues that too many Dems also side with them on.
