Regardless of who’s giving the advice, it’s actually good advice. The guy has completely lost touch with reality. His comments on Apple and Tim Cook (who has never attacked Facebook directly, just replied to a specific question) show that he’s also losing the needed institutional composure his position requires. Personally I thing his argument (we profile you for advertising ‘cause that’s the only way to give a service to poor people as well) is utter BS.

It's interesting Zuckerberg called Cook's comments glib... right before claiming that Facebook is free because it cares about poor people.

Zuckerberg clearly won the glib prize in this exchange.

Both of them "sideswiped" each other.

This is true.

There's a big difference between posters on the side of a city bus and Facebook surveillance. Zuckerberg is trying to obscure that difference as "nothing wrong with being advertising supported".
