If you want to be generous, you could say that Facebook simply doesn't understand or grasp the power it has right now.
The less generous take is that they don't want to understand because it would obligate them to grapple with the ethics of having that power and the least generous take is that they understand full well and simply do not care.
No matter what take you subscribe to, almost everyone can agree that as long as the money flows and the government (US and EU) stays at bay, nothing will change with that company.
From its foundation, from the beginning, Mark's university were working on plans to launch an online version of what they called -- facebooks -- however they were slower to launch because they had concerns, concerns for student privacy and the like; http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2004/2/9/hundreds-register...
In contrast, Mark purposely lied to mislead the brothers who hired him for UConnect so he could launch Facebook before they could launch, he used the name and concept of facebooks from his university and skipped the whole process of caring and worrying about things like privacy, ethics. There are also the transcripts of him calling his users "dumb fucks" for trusting him with their data.
There's never been accountability for Mark, he's never cared for it, and he's only been excessively rewarded by it. He's only learned to control and control his image more and more tightly.
20/20 hindsight, is obvious now that this would evolve like this based on Facebook's beginnings.
To add, FaceMash that Mark had started - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2018/04/11... - what kind of game is it of trying to confuse people by using phrases like "unclear truth" as an answer, it's almost in line with "fake news." And I don't care he was younger or the other details, I care that he still hasn't owned up to it, taking responsibility, being an adult about it to help build our trust with him. Instead he continues to play these games, and certain people want him to because it makes them/keeps them rich.
