The software developer who wrote an evil feature bears some responsibility, but that doesn't lessen zuckerberg's responsibility. If the developer is 30% responsible, Zuckerberg's responsibility isn't capped at 70%. he's also responsible for that developer.

As the person with sole absolute authority over Facebook, he is 100% responsible for everything that happens, in addition to whatever responsibility the people under him bear

Basically blame isn't a zero-sum game. Trying to do "blame calculus", figuring out ways to make the numbers add up to 100%, is folly. Two people or more people can be fully to blame at the same time.

This is true and insightful. However the phrase your parent responded to was "he and he alone" which they were also correct to object to.

Only if you look at thing 'additively.' Zuckerburg also has the authority to put a stop to any development he likes. The people who work for him do not, really.
