Why are you defending Zuckerberg for being a dick? If you have power, you have responsibility: full fucking stop.
The idea that it's okay to be a selfish child with power is tantamount to allowing driving while drunk. Power is deadly, you can just as easily crush a persons life as you could their legs with a car. Don't drive drunk, don't be in power if you can't be a responsible citizen about it.
Power does not imply responsibility, nor visa versa, there is definitely a venn diagram here. Dictators - all power, no responsibility. Manager of a homeless shelter - lots of responsibility, little power.
I believe, with nothing to back this up, that social media would be improved with a better educated population. One that knows and values the basic tenets of critical thinking and debate. No amount of policing will make people smarter or more courteous. People have to choose to be more civil and be more interested in views counter to their own.
The poster doesn't defending Zuckerberg, merely trying to explain why Zuckerberg did what he did.

No, if you have power you get to decide the rule.
Same as drunk driving, the reason we are not allowing driving while drunk is because the people who are against drunk driving has more power than the people who are pro drunk driving. The side that has more power get to decide what the law is.
