At this point Mark Zuckerberg's identity is Facebook. He has never had another job, he never took a humanities class, he never did study abroad, he never spent a summer with normal people working a normal job. His entire life is Facebook. They are one and the same.

Try to imagine your whole identity being tied up in this massive company you made. He has no option but to fight as hard as he can, any talk of regulation is an existential threat to Mark himself.

He has never shown a shred of regret or pause about the past mistakes of the company, it has been full steam ahead ignore the haters at all costs since the Beacon fiasco. Nothing is going to change this company unless an external force comes in and makes the change happen in spite of Mark Zuckerberg.
