The first Internet tycoon born of the Internet age. It's going to be ironic how his oil and railroad predecessors escaped scrutiny by buying newspapers and donating money. Bezos is trying that playbook. But my bet is that we will see Zucks true legacy unfold right now and he won't be lionized in at all the same way. He doesn't seem so different from SBF in that he justified any action to get his way, from the beginning when he started Facebook to rank and spy on women.


I honestly relate to Zuckerberg‘s decision here:

- there isn’t any data which suggests that beauty filters on insta hurt mental health

- if insta disabled such filters, people will simply move to snap or tiktok to use such filters

From the business perspective his veto makes absolute sense. But it’s was to point fingers at him as if he is the boogeyman.

I guess that's one of your jobs as the CEO. The buck stops here and all that.
