Zuckerberg wanted his employees to read the latest book by the current Chinese president a few years back. The book was pure propaganda.

I wish he represented freedom and standing up for everyone's freedom of speech (and privacy), but just looking at his personal history and actions, I just don't think this is the case.

Zuckerberg desperately wants his toy to capture India and China - two countries with massive population where Facebook is literally unknown at the moment.

For India, it's a socioeconomic problem - hence the Internet.org/"free basics" shilling.

For China, it's a political one - hence the shoulder rubbing.
