$400 million could help a lot of sick and hungry people. I'd dig ditches by hand for 3 months to be able to give that money to Doctors Without Borders.

Dig ditches sure. Do work that you fundamentally disagree with though? I mean where do your principles come in to the work you are doing? You choose not to rob banks to support DWB, so you have a line you yourself aren't willing to cross.

I don't begrudge him one bit for his decision.

Exactly. Even if you don't want it for yourself you could at least milk Facebook for some good purpose. But as I said in an earlier comment, there must have been some negotiation between them and FB
