Mark Zuckerberg: “Yeah so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard just @ me. I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, addresses, SNS.”

“What? How’d you manage that one?” a friend asked.

“People just submitted it,” “I don’t know why. They ‘trust’ me. Dumb fucks.”

Name address and so on i, well, understand if you buy something online to fill that in. But sns and id??? Thats all kinds of stupid. Why would you give thata willingly to fb? Its not a government entity or even a bank.
