#4Think about how those who helped negotiate Instagram's 1B sale to Facebook must feel! /s
Seriously this is like the regrets of the 0.01%ers. There should be a footnote every time a wealthy or powerful individual talks about regrets.

Stop me if you’ve seen this before.

#6Everyone finds their moral compass after they get their FU money.
Especially when they have their new app to shill which they will aim to sell for more FU money when it comes along and moral compass no more

If only they had known Zuckerberg was a giant tool before the acquisition in 2014… wait.

#8WhatsApp was hugely responsible for the spread of violent propaganda in India that led to hundreds of deaths (possibly thousands). And Pakistan. And Thailand. And Myanmar.
And WhatsApp didn't do anything while Neeraj and the original team were in charge. It wasn't until after FB acquired them that changes were made.
So basically, not only is this guy crying about spilled milk...but it seems he's more concerned about people's data being exploited after he got his FU money than his deliberate failure to make changes that would have saved hundreds of lives in multiple countries.

Sorry to nitpick here but i can't remember any event involving hundreds of deaths in Pakistan that Whatsapp was used for. What are you referring to?

Humans are hugely responsible for the spread of violent propoganda.
Attempting to curtail people's ability to communicate what they already believe isn't a long term solution and only leads to normalising central authorities deciding what ideas can and can't be communicated.
