Quotes about Facebook

• Facebook's introduction of a new feature that uses [Wikipedia] to combat “fake news” [...] poses arguably the greatest test in years to the volunteer-run online encyclopedia, constituting a massive threat to the internet's largest and ostensibly most trusted source of free knowledge. ... It also highlights the risks posed by Facebook's efforts to seemingly outsource its problems to the online encyclopedia. Indeed, Wikipedia has struggled to defend its standards in the face of its new role as the internet's “good cop.” As more and more tech giants like Facebook and YouTube make use of its content, a new influx of users has flooded the website [–] not all of them well intentioned.

• I think with all technology, people have an idea of how it will be used, but then it has a life of its own and people use it in all kinds of ways. In the same way with Facebook. I doubt when people first created Facebook they imagined it was going to help people in Egyptoverthrow a dictator. So it does have a life of its own that we can’t predict.

• On his own Facebook page, Zuckerberg describes his personal mission this way: “I’m trying to make the world a more open place.” There is no mention of ripping apart the social fabric. Tobacco companies once tried marketing like this: “More Doctors Smoke Camels Than Any Other Cigarette!” The difference is, the media called them on it. A glowing cover story in Time magazine from 2014 opens with a photo of Zuckerberg surrounded by a crowd of poor children in India. “Our mission is to connect every person in the world,” Zuckerberg is quoted as saying. The article does briefly note the obvious financial interest Facebook has in hooking every living person on social media. But the piece quickly moves on to suggest that “creating wealth and saving lives”

  • Instant messages sent by Zuckerberg during Facebook's early days, reported by Business Insider (May 13, 2010)
• It’s not unusual for us to receive an email from somebody saying, “I spend all of my time on your website and now I have less of a social life than I had before.” We would much rather have people meet people through the website and go out and party than stay at home on a Friday night reading other people’s profiles. And it’s surprising, but we have actually received far less complaints about stalking than we otherwise would have expected.
• To a certain extent, the website is unfortunate because it oversimplifies things. Everybody’s concept of having a friend is different. It can definitely blur the relationships that exist between people.

Early Life

Mark Elliot Zuckerberg was born on May 14, 1984, in White Plains, New York, into a comfortable, well-educated family. His father, Edward, ran a dental practice attached to the family's home, and his mother, Karen, worked as a psychiatrist before becoming a stay-at-home. He was raised in the Westchester village of Dobbs Ferry with his three siblings Randi, Donna, and Arielle.

Growing up, Zuckerberg developed an interest in computers at an early age. When he was 12 years old, he used Atari BASIC to create an instant messaging program he named “Zucknet.” His father used the program in his dental office, so that the receptionist could inform him of a new patient without yelling across the room. The family also used Zucknet to communicate with each other in their home.

Zuckerberg soon expanded his coding capabilities and began creating computer games with his friends. “I had a bunch of friends who were artists,” he told The New Yorker in September 2010. “They'd come over, draw stuff, and I'd build a game out of it.”

Education

To keep up with Zuckerberg's burgeoning interest in computers, his parents hired private computer tutor David Newman to come to the house once a week and work with Zuckerberg. Newman later told reporters that it was hard to stay ahead of the prodigy. While attending Ardsley High School, Zuck

There's currently not much noteworthy about him except for his creation of Facebook. Besides, the main facebook article mentions everything currently on this page about him. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by169.229.99.156 (talk • contribs) 01:43, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

He is absolutely noteworthy enough to have his own stub. Someone needs to track down the New Yorker's piece on Zuckerberg that was printed in its May 15, 2006 edition. I remember the article saying that he was offered something in the hundreds of millions for the site. Anyone who has been offered hundreds of millions of dollars for anything is worth a "stub" on Wikipedia. [[1]]

So? Nothing on Wikipedia is copyrighted. People can copy and paste from this site as much as they want.24.190.34.219 (talk) 01:52, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

That is not entirely true. The other site must comply with the license that Wikipedia uses. To put it simply, they must also allow anybody to copy the content on their site. The above site does not appear to be doing that - so they are indeed violating Wikipedia's copyright. DegenFarang (talk) 07:40, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

I recreated this article because I think Zuckerberg is now notable enough to merit his own stub. There are stubs for other Facebook employees and it seems the founder and CEO should get one too. - L1AM(talk)09:29, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Why is this article still considered a stub? Generally, when I find a stub it's a paragraph long, maybe
