>The problem with Mark Zuckerberg exercising total, unaccountable dominion over the digital lives of 3 billion people isn’t merely that he is incredibly bad at that job. The real problem is *that job should not exist*. No one should hold that much power. We don’t need a better Zuck. *We need to abolish Zuck*. (pg. 54) Also: >At the time of this writing, Mark Zuckerberg is the unelected, unaccountable, absolute czar of the digital lives of about 4 billion people. He didn’t earn that job – he bought it. Wen companies like Instagram and WhatsApp arrived on the scene with superior products that Facebook users preferred and started to leave Facebook for, Mark Zuckerberg threw his shareholders’ money around, buying both companies for a total of $23 billion. Zuck’s access to the capital markets meant that you couldn’t escape from his custody – if you left his walled garden, he’d track you down to whatever new service you found and buy it and build a wall around it. > >This is a class monopoly play… > >That’s Zuck’s story: we bought Insta and WhatsApp because we know you value choice, and we want to give it to you.
