Zuckerberg should resign at this moment. Facebook needs new leadership if it wants to change the way it has been operating.

It was true at Google. It's certainly true at financial institutions. I dunno about Amazon. I'm not sure what other comparisons would be relevant here. EDIT/NOTE: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16675493
I believe it's true of Google! I do not believe it's true in general.
Without evidence we're both just guessing. Perhaps someone else will chime in with direct knowledge of how FB works.

I hope so, but keep in mind Facebook has a magical password that worked for every account for almost a decade.

It is pretty easy to call for resignation as an outsider. This is not an elected position, i do not think people get to call this.

> It was true at Google. Yes, because Google is not your average company. It takes security extremely seriously... in fact it's about as awful of an example as you can give for a blanket statement you made about "most companies".

Do I understand correctly that you just admitted that your (extremely confident!) factual statement here:
> most companies have pretty strict internal controls for this sort of thing
was actually "just guessing"?

OK you're right that I overstated when I said "most companies." What I meant to say was most companies of the size and sophistication of Facebook that have a significant amount of private user information. Sorry for not being clear.

1) my direct knowledge of similar companies
2) the fact that no large scale leak from internal sources has happened from FB which is evidence that they have at least some internal controls or procedures to prevent one
