Mark Zuckerberg admits in a New Yorker  profile that he mocked early Facebook users for trusting him with their personal information. A youthful indiscretion, according to him.

In a chat conversation with a friend, he refers to users as ‘dumb fucks’ for trusting him with their email, phone numbers and photos:

ZUCK: yea so if you ever need info about anyone at harvard
ZUCK: just ask
ZUCK: i have over 4000 emails, pictures, addresses, sns
FRIEND: what!? how’d you manage that one?
ZUCK: people just submitted it
ZUCK: i don’t know why
ZUCK: they “trust me”
ZUCK: dumb fucks

Zuckerberg now tells the New Yorker, “I think I’ve grown and learned a lot” since those instant messages.

And yet the old quote resounds precisely because Facebook continues to stir up privacy controversies at regular intervals. Zuckerberg justifies his privacy rollbacks by saying the social norms have changed in favor of transparency, but, as tech executive Anil Dash tells the New Yorker, that sort of change is much more appealing for a privileged, Ivy Leaguer golden boy of Silicon Valley like Zuckerberg than for his half a billion users, many of whom work for less tolerant bosses and socialize in more judgmental circles.
