Zuckerberg: I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS

Zuckerberg: People just submitted it.
Zuckerberg: I don't know why.
Zuckerberg: They "trust me"
Zuckerberg: Dumb fucks

On Reddit the normal person can be forgiven for not knowing the full context of quote, but this quote has come up on HN many times over many years.
I've never seen an "explanation." It seems self-explanatory. I haven't seen an apology either, but this was in the New Yorker:
