>I don't care much for Facebook's methods and I think they are a net negative on the world

>I still really look up to Mark Zuckerberg as a leader.

these statements are incompatible.

who do you think dictates the methods? who do you think decides the ends for which those methods are directed?

who do you think is the one who baldly avoided answering up and down over and over in front of a congressional panel?

hint: it's zuck.

Yeah, I completely agree here.

How did we get to the point where we so easily separated leaders actions from their public image?

It's the logical equivalent of saying "I condemn what the Nazis did, but I respect Hitler's oratory ability to inspire a country", as if his abilities as a leader in no way influenced the Holocaust.

It's crazy to me how people logically isolate a leader's words and actions from the consequences of the institutions they lead in this case.
