The social networking site Facebook has been popular with people who are supposed to be working since 2004. Despite its popularity, users have always had concerns about privacy issues, and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has not exactly gone out of his way to respond to their concerns. In the 2010 book The Facebook Effect, an early employee of the company, Charlie Cheever, said, “I feel Mark doesn’t believe in privacy that much.”
This statement took on new meaning when an instant messenger conversation between Zuckerberg and a friend came to light. In the discussion, Zuckerberg claims to have “over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS” from users, and when his friend asked how he got them, he responded, “People just submitted it. I don’t know why. They ‘trust me.’ Dumb f**ks.”
