> On the other hand, to me he sounded completely inhuman.
As I wrote in another post a few hours ago, my perception of Zuckerberg is that he is a genuine psychopath. For anyone interested in understanding such individuals, I would recommend the book Political Ponerology, which is an attempt to scientifically understand major deliberately malevolent figures in industry and geopolitics.
I believe, and have for some time now, that contemporary Western society in virtually every respect is governed by these people, and has largely been designed by them, for their own benefit. They are adept at exploiting flaws and weaknesses in the nature of the non-psychopathic majority, for the sake of their own aggrandisement.
I think Zuckerberg and others like him need to be treated compassionately, because it does need to be understood that they are afflicted with a genuine neurological disorder. The infrastructure which the brain requires for the expression of empathy and compassion, in their case is quite simply not there, and as a result they do not have the ability to comprehend those emotions in others, or their evolutionary importance.
They first and foremost need to be removed from their positions of influence, but after that I would advocate extensive hormonal and/or pharmacological therapy with permanent incarceration, in a secure but humane environment.
> I was and remain unabashedly anti-Facebook (the commoditization of both human privacy and attention strikes me as absolutely Orwellian)
I agree, but given the superficiality, narcissism, and insistence on instant gratification of the majority of the population these days, communicating with family without the use of such media, is regrettably difficult.
I remember a time when the Internet was not used by more than around 10% of the population; and truthfully I wish we could go back to that situation, both for the sake of said 90%, and my own. My mother is a 70+ year old woman, and while I do not wish to be unkind to her, she lacks both the technical familiarity and the basic intelligence to be able to effectively use the Internet; and it is at times a source of frustration for me that she continues to try. As long as technically illiterate people want to use the Internet, but also do not want to educate themselves regarding its' use, the services of people like Mark Zuckerberg will tragically always be in demand, in one form or another. In a world of toddlers, the manager of the day care center is king.
>“There is a tendency to want to see AI as a neutral moral authority,” Riedl told BuzzFeed News. “However, we also know that human biases can creep into data sets and algorithms. Algorithms can be wrong, and there needs to be recourse.” Human biases can get coded into the AI, and uniformly applied across users of different backgrounds, in different countries with different cultures, and across wildly different contexts.
This is the Garbage-In-Garbage-Out problem. For more on this check out this book:

TL;DR of this article
I'd like to add an additional issue: The same powerful AI tools that Facebook may one day in the future have access to in order to clear up fake news on the platform will ALSO be used by the powerful nation-state actors that are trying to make fake news and bot posts go viral on Facebook.
