It would be but there is no way that it will ever happen. Besides that he has things set up in such a way that even the board can't force him out. The only people that can fire Zuckerberg are the users.

It's almost as though a corporate structure set up to enshrine its founder as BDFL is a really bad idea. Go figure.

Mark Zuckerberg has always been incapable. I'm amazed that he has been able to stay at the helm of the network for so long.

Negligence gives cause regardless of terms. We all know that claiming negligence would be the softest explanation for his architecture. Outright nefarious and evil is a better description of every move he has made since inception.

Doesn't seem so bad for the founder.

Rather: Now would be a good time for Facebook users to resign. Zuck is doing exactly the same things when he started Facebook. It’s the users; The users that need to leave the platform. Does anyone really believe that a FB without Zuckerberg will all of a sudden be great for people? Reporters like these should inform users better about how their data is being used and how they can change things for themselves by simply leaving the platform. That’s 1. more practical and 2. the only actual solution to the problem.

Not so bad for the shareholders really either. $500bn isn't a bad market cap for a photo sharing site. The people being hurt here are the general public.

Or, let's be honest, any of the investors who bought it.
