For sure Mark has made a bunch of decisions looking at the short term gain in his life. But he also did not see or largely underestimated the long term repercussions.

We all make mistakes. The important part is to learn from them and do not repeat them.

Since the beacon, Mark has always been sincerely recognized his mistakes, ask for forgiveness and try to fix those mistakes.

I see maturity and integrity of character in this.

Things that the young Zuckerberg did not have (ex: https://techcrunch.com/2011/06/25/im-ceo-bitch/ and https://i.redd.it/cqyiaxm1j6n01.jpg ).

I find remarkable that was able to quickly grow up and become a better leader.

As far as I can find he's only asked for forgiveness once, in a Yom Kippur message, and not in relation to any specific mistake(s). Not that I find "forgiveness" to be a legitimate ethical standard, since "it's better to ask forgiveness than permission" has been used to do bad stuff on purpose for a long time.

I remember this: https://techcrunch.com/2007/12/05/zuckerberg-saves-face-apol... but yes, he never asked forgiveness for this: https://gizmodo.com/holy-crap-is-this-mark-zuckerbergs-embar... ;-)

It's amazing that asking forgiveness would have any value at all, words are so cheap as to be free; there's little stopping him from saying whatever suits his agenda in that area

Isn't Facebook's MO that they do basically whatever they want and when called out for shady stuff they issue some sincere apology and try again?
