News: Zuckerberg is a thieving lying snake. Facebook is cancer. As long as these snakes don't go to prison, this will not stop/end.

This sort of personal vitriol will get you banned on HN regardless of whom you're attacking. Please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, follow the rules, and make your points without stooping to that, regardless of how right you are or feel.
You may not owe better to Zuckerberg or Facebook, but you owe much better to this community if you want to keep posting here.

Can we please stop with the hyperbole ?
Facebook absolutely deserves to be regulated but right now nothing they or Zuckerberg has done is remotely illegal.

Don't confuse legality with morality.

And people should only go to prison when they commit a crime.
The rule of law does not centre around who is nice or not.

That's exactly what OP is saying: since they're not going to prison because the law lets them continue, it won't stop.

Why is this downvoted?

It’s a false conclusion. The OP is making a moral/ethical statement, and says that prison time is the only way to motivate the wrongdoers to conform. That’s different than asserting that a crime under current laws has taken place.

According to one of the first paragraphs of the article
> The company has not been accused of breaking the law.
So there doesn’t seem to be any reason Zuckerberg would be going to prison.
