Facebook documents show plans to sell access to user data discussed for years

I am not, and have never been, a user of Facebook.

But I have to say, that statement means nothing. Mocking people for their poor choices may be in poor taste, or unfair, but it does not mean one is willing to take advantage of them.

It's all he has done since that reveals that he is actually willing.

What about the part of the statement that says

ZUCK: yea so if you ever need info about anyone at harvard

ZUCK: just ask

ZUCK: i have over 4000 emails, pictures, addresses, sns

Or the fact that he did use user data in the way he suggested in the quote?

He had already taken advantage of them and collected their data at that point...

He was mocking the users who had already made the poor choice of letting him take advantage of them.
