#4Just like Zuckerburgs trouncing on the rights of native Hawaiians, Facebook has shown a deep, callous disregard to the rights, needs, and concerns of everyone else.

#10Heh, would love to see Greenpeace arrive out in front of Zuck's Hawaiian beach side estate and firehose his beaches with spent drilling fluid . . .
