his customers are "the community", and all he does is "connect" them

Mark Steyn is dead wrong on this point. Zuckerberg's customers are not "the community". His customers are his advertisers.

"The community" of which he speaks is the product being sold to his customers.

You are misquoting Stein. Stein is referring to how Zuckerberg portrays himself not what he actually does.

As in the rest of the sentence:

“ connect”...“a word that means harvesting your personal information as Planned Parenthood harvests your body parts.”

I’d say that sums it up pretty viscerally.

Metaphorically, the users of social media sites are simply "Soylent Green" to those who process and use their data.

"Soylent Green is People!!!"
