This picture keeps popping up at the minute and it pissed me off so much that I wrote a comment under my friends picture outlining my anger at the inaccuracy of the picture.
Let’s get it straight.
Julian Assange ‘acquired’ information ‘illegally’ about corporations and gave it to the world for free. The debate is about whether this information is in the public interest. That’s up to you to decide, but it’s pretty well documented laws were broken in order for this classified information to be leaked to the world… He’s the villain.
Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook. A social networking website that you choose to sign up to. You know. Choice. You aren’t forced to create an account and put your information on there. You choose to add information to your profile. Update your status. Add information to the About section and populate your timeline. That information then becomes ‘target-able’ by corporations in some circumstances, but in many other circumstances by small businesses and others trying to get you to use their service. And where does this appear? In five small ads on the right of the page. I bet most of the time you ignore them too. The reason Zuck is the man of the year is because he changed the face of social networking, no make that communication, forever. He’s an innovator and an entrepreneur who has changed the world in a colossal way. That’s why he’s man of the year.
And the best bit. The person who posted this, posted it on Facebook. FAIL.
