Re: Mark Zuckerberg's Political Awakening
#3Zuckerberg has done all these things within a relatively short period of time:
* Says he’s no longer an atheist, "questioned" religious matters, he broke through his skepticism and now believes religion to be “very important.”
* Restructuring of Facebook stock trough the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. In the SEC filing it says that he can take a leave of absence from Facebook and still retain voting control of the company if he goes to work for the government.
* Hired a top Democratic campaign manager David Plouffe into the iniative. Plouffe was Obama's campaign manager.
* Hired top Republican campaign manager Ken Mehlman into the iniative. Mehlman is a former George W. Bush campaign manager and RNC chairman.
* Promised to visit all 50 states and meet people.
* Hires a former top adviser to President Barack Obama and the chief strategist for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.
This is not PR as usual for CEO. He is into something big.

#6Great read, at first I thought it was just a puff piece but the ending is a great insight into the filter bubble that folks with that amount of money and power live in. He can't handle any criticism or line of questioning that dares to peek behind the curtain, it's something that just never happens in his world.
I'm not sure what level of power he's going to buy next, but everyone should be trying to peek behind the curtain. And deleting their Facebook.

#8Facebook's threat is that politicians have little control over it and it is not limited to just one country in scope. I don't use facebook but I like that it exist. the only regulation of such an entity is to keep it non discriminatory because if it were to start picking winners and losers it probably could have undue influence.
