Being Hawaii though, I don't think he will get a private beach, though :)

For someone who is so virulently anti-privacy, he's certainly strangely a very private person isn't he?

There is something I find very odd and unsettling about Zuckerberg. One day I think we will yet rue making him such a success.

He claims he is pro-privacy, and that if people get into problems by sharing too much on social sites, it's their fault. He himself is not sharing too much.

Explain shadow profiles then.

I think a lot of his stances and statements on privacy are with respect to internet privacy as it pertains to Facebook's users and the success of his company. His stance, in my opinion, focuses more on users having control over what they post and what they choose to share, but in general that sharing information online is a good thing. Unsurprisingly, his views seem to coincide with some encouragement of users to share information via social media.

With that in mind, I feel that the issue of privacy with respect to one's home/private property is very different. With this, Zuckerberg is likely thinking about the physical safety of himself and his family.

I'd be curious to hear more about what you find unsettling about him.

He'll get pretty close. The terrain along the shoreline makes the beach in question pretty much inaccessible. It's not unusual in Hawaii to flaunt the law by making public access as inconvenient as possible by buying the surrounding land and removing roads/paths so people who do want access have to trek miles to the beach.
