Mark Zuckerberg had a choice to make this week.

The Facebook CEO could either go to Washington to meet with President Donald Trump, along with nearly every other marquee CEO from the tech industry, or skip it and prepare for a Chicago rally for people who'd created social-support groups on Facebook.

Isn't Zuckerberg the punk who demands open borders but surrounds his multi million dollar estates with walls and armed guards?

Imagine simply applying the Clayton and Sherman anti-trust acts to Silicon Valley lefties . . . then coordinating action with Europe who have similar and stricter equivalents.

I do not like Facebook or it’s politics but the EU is plain evil.

F___book was created with Intelligence Community/Deep State seed money.

It is an enemy of the sovereign citizen, pure and simple.

That is why F_____berg needs gates and guards.

I know there are people who trade photos of cats and plan bridge club through fb, but it is also the single largest tool for criminal activity ever devised. I’ve never used it for personal use, but it is invaluable when used for catching and monitoring criminals. That anyone would let their children on it is unfortunate.

Zuckerberg better be careful. Trump might issue an executive order making it illegal for Internet companies to steal data from their users...

Then you'll be SOL.

Yes, limousine liberals are everywhere. If I was so sheltered from reality I would hope I wouldn’t be as much of a sap as he is. He’s so scared of being labeled racist he married an Oriental girl.

Zuckerberg has been in Iowa going around eating at diners and schmoozing with the locals so he can run for President. The media will swoon over him if he gets the Dem nomination.

Zuck is visiting every state. I think he’s got political ambitions.

He’s a dirtbag.

F__book was stolen by Zuckerberg. An early version of it was developed by a group of students at Harvard. Zuckerberg allegedly stole it. The other students tried to sue him to get it back but were not successful.

Facebook is not an American company.

They are a nation onto itself, with a citizenry, digital army, treaties of alliance, aristocracy, and diplomatic relations with other countries.

The U.S. should let them get hoisted.

The first is stupid, but for him NIMBY. The second is only prudent. /S

It's a typical liberal large/small, or near/far inconsistency of ideation. Like "I love Man, but I hate individual men."

I would love to see Cuckerberg’s empire utterly destroyed. Neither my wife nor I have Fakebook pages, and never have.

Just means he’d spend more time figuring out how to emotionally manipulate American teens and brain dead white women who watch The View.

Don’t leave out one very large Russian investor.

https://techcrunch.com/2009/05/26/facebook-takes-that-200-million-investment-from-the-russians-at-a-10-billion-valuation/

Trump has problems with the Russians? Ha. Zuckerberg is in bed with them.

Zuck reminds me of Canada’s young Trudeau.

Both are Bambi compared to the Godzilla of Trump.

Thereby setting up his own liberal utopia before the rest of the country follows. We all know that in liberal (i.e. socialist) utopias, a very few elites live exceedingly luxurious lives while everyone else has to scrape to survive.
