He can back whoever be wants, even if it's the KKK. The problem here is that he was doing it behind closed doors so not to damage his reputation and that of his product.

Additionally, with Zuckerberg having married someone who is far from being an American and himself being Jewish might land him in serious shit.

So privacy is now a problem?

So what? Is it like if you have the "wrong" political opinion and express it the "wrong" way and you are a public figure we riot? K, seems mature enough, but a bit marxist doe.

Privacy isn't the issue it's trust. It's like having an affair and keeping it private since you don't want to lose the relationship with your wife, lose money and respect. 

 

You can keep your vote private, but it's different when you choose to spend millions backing someone who is probably one of the most hated people in the world due to racist and anti semitic remarks. 

 

Additionally, you are part of a company that has invested in you and your product. This could cost Facebook millions of maybe even bury Oculus. 

 

Edit: it's trending news now. Looks like Facebook will be hit the worst since it was their investment and Palmer already has his money.

The backlash is actually real.

Considering Zuckerberg has Jewish ancestors and family and his wife is Chinese the backlash can only get worse.

Why won't this thread show up in forums or the front page? I have to look it up everytime on Google!

Tomorrow shall be interesting with Facebooks statement.

Also, Palmers other half has also been posting racist stuff which apparently Palmer has been retweeting. To add fuel to the fire, there are additional rumours that Palmer bought 4chan and is using someone else as a frontman to run it.

Shit be gettin' real yo!

Marxism is when the government tells someone what they can or can't say.  When the free market is upset and forces a company to address it, that's actually capitalism.

ORLY?

"a bit marxist doe" is a bit. As in the bit of cultural marxism. As in, get fired for believing the wrong thing.
