Facebook Wanting money is fine
Facebook (FB) is not so evil, despite all the loud criticisms. Critics (as recently highlighted by Mark Zuckerberg) are only a small part of the more than 400 million user base. But Facebook also generates revenue, despite the fact that Zuckerberg claims that the service is “not for the money”.
At a press conference on Wednesday, Zuckerberg said: “This may seem strange, but we do not deal with FC for money. And this is an absolute truth for everyone within the company. A big misunderstanding is to assume that we are doing this for the money. ”
Zuckerberg is not a saint or a 19 year old boy who mocks * users who trust him with their information, but still can hardly believe it. He is the general director of the most powerful social network on the Internet. Judging by the statement on Wednesday, FB needs money from advertising to exist, in order to “ensure the operation of a network serving 400 million people.” However, no one believes that FC is trying to earn enough money for existence, no one expects them to do so. Mark, it’s okay to want money (a lot of money), you just don’t have to pretend that everything you do is because of the love of the user.
One can argue that Zuckerberg’s comment (“it’s not for the money’s sake”) was just that, by the way, that he was paying too much attention to him. However, this seems to be a salutary statement for the entire company, like Google’s “don't be evil” (“don't be evil.”). His words are reminiscent of the words of Chris Cox who said that “everyone who knows Mark knows that he is not doing this [FB] for money ... All the changes we are making are not based on the desire to earn.” Cox said that FB is trying to build a “wonderful advertising product,” but he immediately remarked that “this is not the main motivator, there are many other things that we do”.

Apparently Zuckerberg is serious about changing the world, after all the offers to buy out FB, but in addition he also intends to turn FB into a car by earning a huge amount of money.
From the translator:
The author persistently repeats that he is on the drum for the amount of dough earned by FB, he just wants Zuckerberg to be honest. For honesty, he, in general ...
* Excerpt from the correspondence of a 19 year old Zuckerberg, shortly before launching Facebook:
Zuck: If you need anything about anyone at Harvard
Zuck: Just ask
Zuck: I have over 4,000 emails, photos and addresses.
[Friend Mark] What? Where did you get it from?
Zuck: The people themselves sent
Zuck: They "trust me"
Zuck: Morons.
