Facebook founder ridicules original members for being trusting

Loveable Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg called his first few thousand users “dumb [*SNIP*]” for trusting him with their data, published IM transcripts show. Facebook hasn’t disputed the authenticity of the transcript.

Zuckerberg was chatting with an unnamed friend, apparently in early 2004. Business Insider, which has a series of quite juicy anecdotes about Facebook’s early days, takes the credit for this one.

The exchange apparently ran like this:

This is how the dialogue ran

"Zuck: People just submitted it.

Zuck: I don't know why.

Zuck: They "trust me"

Zuck: Dumb [*SNIP*]"

Man, I am so glad I never opened a facebook account.



All you folks with an account, doesn't it make you feel great that you made that schmuck rich?

I don't pay a dime to him...had my account for 3 years now...never paid a cent...but HAVE been able to keep in touch with many friends from days gone by.....again its not rocket science...its the internet...if you CHOOSE to put in personal info and post personal stuff...then only YOU are to blame for whatever happens....not the guy providing a service where the only thing that really even needs to be real is your email address...other then that you can fake everything else and still use the site....so not sure why people care so much....just stop being so damn open if you don't want backlash...

Just logged into my account fine like. It is not down. On a separate note if people are dumb enough to put things on there that they might regret then he is talking to you.

He is a good businessman for knowing his customers so well.

I'm someone who has invested in several companies, and own one. I'm not alone when I say a lot of us believe you should treat staff and customers with respect. I lost it when I read this. To view customers and staff with any disdain, let alone open your mouth about it, thats the world of those with a God complex and con men. Someone approaches me for funds, I ask the following questions in the following order: I want to know everything about the people involved, then I want to know about the product, etc. Theres a very small chance in hell this kid will ever get a chance to play with others people's money again.

zuckerberg is right
