Honestly at this point it is also ethically "controverse" to work for facebook in any position.

Obviously, in my personal opinion and I can understand that a lot of people don't care about it

Heck, you could even go as far as saying that Facebook is ethically "challenged".

I think you can go even farther, to, "intentionally malicious".

Mark hasn't taken back his comments about his users being "dumb fucks" for "trust[ing]" him, as far as I know, although he has apparently said that he regrets saying it[0].

> he has apparently said that he regrets saying it

What's the difference between this and taking it back?

One could still think it, but regret that they said it aloud/sent it as a text message, such that others heard/read it.
