Nah. He's been running the same scam since he started, as exemplified by that famous quote:

[Redacted Friend's Name]: 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.

He's still doing the same thing.

I think most people would look just as nefarious if private conversations from their college years were selectively publicized. For all of his failings it's unfortunate that at 33 years old, Mark Zuckerberg still has people vilifying him using quotes he made when he was 22 years old.

Seems kind of ironic doesn't it?

If I thought his behavior was materially different (aside from capability) 11 years later, I'd drop it, just like I have with many other people who grew out of or otherwise dealt with their early problems.

On the other hand, I also repeat things about a person I know who stole from me many years ago. That person happens to be in jail for, among other things, theft.

The problem here is that he was and is rewarded for the bad behavior, so he keeps repeating it.
