>But he’s also the person who created Facebook, who allowed it to be used by children, so it’s extremely hypocritical, no?

>Why doesn’t he make Facebook for over 18s only?

Should non-smokers be allowed to be tobacco executives? I think everyone agrees that smoking is bad, but whether the CEO partakes in it shouldn't really be a relevant factor either way.

Is it ok if a tobacco executive downplays risks with smoking while at the same time forbidding their own children from smoking?

I think that’s a more accurate analogy, and I think it also would be reprehensible behavior.
