> We've already had a look inside his head, because he joked with his friends about how naive the people giving their information to him were for trusting, and how they were dumb fucks that he looked forward to fucking in the ear.

You're reading a lot into a (admittedly stupid) quip/jab/whatever-you-want-to-call it by a 19 year old.

I don't even disagree with your fundamental assertion here, just that this is incredibly weak evidence.

No I'm not. I'm using it as an easy-to-recognize reference to a body of knowledge about the early stages of Facebook, which I feel no need to retype in full every time someone declares themselves innocent of any contextual knowledge. The name for this literary device is synecdoche, and I think you know perfectly well what the ancillary context is.

I was 19 and didn't talk like that. Doesn't it say something about a person's personality?

I don't know, to me it doesn't seem like he's stopped regarding his users as dumb fucks.
