These are words by great CEO, fight these baseless accusations in court like you would fight any slander. These witch hunts must stop.

Hah. Loading the page then results in a giant picture of Zuck blocking the content inviting me to "See more of Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook" by logging in.

No thanks Mark, I've seen enough.

Mmm, requires login, can anyone share the post? Thanks in advance!

Odd. Doesn’t seem to require log in for me. The post just loads without having to click anything.

I got a popup with Zuckerberg's face and an opportunity to sign up. At the bottom of the dialog, click on "Not Now".

> ...industry-leading...

This self-proclaimed adjective was thrown in the mix five separate times within this note in an effort to explain how great the work that FB delivers is (and likely, to imply that the negativity applied to FB in the public eye is unfair).

Saying Facebook is "industry-leading" with respect to social media and technology is like saying Priscilla is your favorite wife, dude.

Put your money where your mouth is, or you'll likely continue to lose it as various outlets reported this week.

Honestly am I the only one that doesn’t think that Facebook is that bad? Some of those points that he makes really should make you stop and think.

He should ask the tobacco industry or the oil industry. History rhymes.
