Screencapped this morning:
Publicly swearing allegiance to a bunch of Republicans has capped off an exciting week for Zuck, in which he also acquired a virtual reality company and (unrelated) promised to start beaming the internet from the sky.
Currently, I'm reading The Boy Kings, Katherine Losse's account of being a Facebook employee, starting near the beginning of the company's reign. The jury's out on the book itself (I'm only halfway through) but there are some sharp observations scattered throughout: "[I]n a little society we were constructing out of bits of code, it
seemed that privacy - true intimacy - had become too scary," says page 72.
Interesting coincidence to read those words the same week Zuck buys a virtual reality company and makes a few political endorsements by impersonally clicking a "Like" button and letting an automated newsfeed broadcast it...
