Like my party – Zuckerberg

Facebook founder and baby-faced billionaire Mark Zuckerberg has waded into US politics, forming a political lobby group to be known, cryptically, as FWD.us [sic].

One guesses ‘FWD.us’ is meant to mean something trite like ‘take us forward’ when translated into adult language. His beef? He met an illegal immigrant who was brought to the US by his parents, and took an entrepreneurship class taught by Zuckerberg.

He doesn’t mention whether his course includes the shrewd recognition that users who trust you with their personal information are ‘dumb fucks’, as he called them in the early days of Facebook. Perhaps his course material refl ects the fact that ‘I think I’ve grown and learned a lot’, like securing your information so you don’t get caught insulting the customers whose trust you exploit.
