@ 2013/01/28My problem with Mark Zuckerberg taking Facebook public isn't that he gets to make a gazillion dollars - this is capitalism, remember? Or that many Facebook shareholders feel that they were ripped off in the IPO - caveat emptor, my friends!
My problem with him taking Facebook public is that he no longer seems to be focused on "making the world open". Instead, he seems to be more beholden to the shareholders, and proving to them and the world that he can monetize the huge Facebook community.
Now, I have nothing against corporations making money. After all, corporations are people, aren't they? They should be entitled to a decent living wage like everyone else. Well, at least that's what Mitt Romney says. The only thing I'm against is corporations lying to make money. I'm pretty sure there's a law or two against such things.
