The Story Of Mark Zuckerberg And How He Built Facebook

INTRODUCTION

Mark Zuckerberg is a man of many talents. He created Facebook and helped turn it into one of the most influential companies in history. The story of how that happened is fascinating, but there are still some unresolved disputes about what he should have done in the process.

MARK ZUCKERBERG’S BEGINNING.

Mark Zuckerberg was born on May 14, 1984, in White Plains, New York. His parents were Karen and Edward Zuckerberg, who had been married for three years at the time of Mark’s birth.

Zuckerberg attended Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. He spent his first year at Harvard University before dropping out to pursue a career in software development.

Zuckerberg then enrolled at Harvard Business School, earning an MBA in 2004. After leaving Harvard, Zuckerberg formed Thefacebook in 2004 and ConnectU in 2005.

He also began attending law school at the University of California, Hastings College of Law. In 2007, he dropped law school to focus on Thefacebook full-time.

HOW FACEBOOK BEGAN.

Mark Zuckerberg was a Harvard student in the mid-1990s when he first encountered the idea of a universal people directory. At that time, you could search for information about an individual by typing their name into a search engine like Alta Vista and Google.

But if there was no central database—as there wasn’t at the time—you’d have to manually type each piece of data into multiple web pages (or navigate through various directories). This made it hard for him to track down his classmates and friends who lived far away or had moved away from campus after graduating.

Zuckerberg’s solution: build an online profile where users could add their contact information without having to do anything else besides entering their first name and birthday.

He called this site “the Facebook” because it was meant only for college students who wanted something similar to what already existed on campus: an easy way for them all to meet up once again after graduation with little effort required on anyone’s part.*

THE LAWSUIT OVER FACEBOOK.

The lawsuit over Facebook was a long, drawn-out process. It started with an undergrad at Harvard University named Eduardo Saverin filing suit against Zuckerberg and his classmates for the creation of Facebook.

Saverin argued that he had worked on the project with Zuckerberg and should therefore receive ownership rights to the company.

Zuckerberg’s lawyers argued that he had created Facebook as a college project, so he wasn’t liable for any money from it—and since lawyering was what Mark did before starting his company (and still does), they knew how to fight back against such claims!

They filed counterclaims against Saverin alleging copyright infringement, trademark infringement, and breach of contract; eventually, all charges were dismissed except one: breach of confidence.

The judge ruled in favor of Mark because although he didn’t own any intellectual property rights over their ideas during those early days when they worked together at Harvard University – he did have access while working there, which would give him some legal standing under California state law.”

INSIDE THE COMPANY TODAY.

Zuckerberg is the CEO and chairman of Facebook. He has a net worth of $70.8 billion, making him one of the wealthiest people in the world. He is married to Priscilla Chan, an ophthalmologist at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. Zuckerberg also has two daughters: Maxima (born in 2005) and August (born in 2012).

DARK TIMES FOR MARK ZUCKERBERG AND FACEBOOK

Cambridge Analytica is a political data analytics company accused of misusing Facebook users’ personal information to help Donald Trump win the 2016 presidential election.

The company claims it’s not guilty but still has to answer for how its practices affected people’s lives. This article will explore what happened, how you can protect your data online (and offline), and what this means for Facebook.

TIMELINE OF EVENTS

Timeline of events Facebook Cambridge Analytica scandal broke on March 18, 2018, when news outlets began reporting that the data firm had harvested the user profiles of 50 million people without their permission.

– On March 20th, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg appeared before Congress to answer questions about the incident. He apologized for failing to protect user information and promised more robust safeguards.

– The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) went into effect on May 25th with fines up to 4% of annual turnover or €20 million ($22 million), whichever is greater; however, it doesn’t apply immediately since many businesses are still transitioning from one set of laws such as GDPR into another such as FISMA/NIST 800-53A (Federal Information Security Management Act).

FACEBOOK’S APOLOGY

Facebook has apologized for its role in the Cambridge Analytica scandal and promised to do better.

The social media giant has also promised to protect your data and privacy, saying it will take action against any violations of its terms of service or policies.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said this in an interview with CNN’s David Gergen on Tuesday: “We need to take a broader view around our responsibility here and make sure that people can trust what they’re doing online.”

LEGAL PROBLEMS

As you may have heard, Facebook and Cambridge Analytica have been fined for illegally collecting data. The fine is around $500 million. This has resulted in a lawsuit being filed against them by the Department of Justice, which claims that they had used fake profiles to influence elections on behalf of politicians.

The scandal also caused many lawsuits against Facebook itself: users who had their information stolen sued the company for negligence; advertisers who lost money over misleading ads sued them for fraud, and other companies that use Facebook’s APIs (application programming interfaces) were upset about losing access to their data because it was shared with third parties without permission from those companies’ users or employees who might have worked at those organizations themselves during their tenure there (which may be illegal under certain circumstances).

WHAT HAPPENED TO CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA?

You may have heard about Cambridge Analytica, the data analysis company tied to President Trump’s 2016 campaign. It’s been accused of using Facebook data to influence elections, and it’s now shutting down after being suspended by Facebook.

Cambridge Analytica has been working with other companies on various projects since its creation in 2014.

But according to The New York Times, its work for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign was among its most controversial: The company allegedly used personal information from 50 million people without their consent during his election bid—and then lied about it when caught by reporters and regulators.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR FACEBOOK AND THE FUTURE OF DATA COLLECTION

Facebook will be more careful about the apps it allows on its platform and the developers that work with them. It will also be more transparent about how Facebook uses data, allowing users to opt out of some or all of the information collection by clicking a link at the bottom of each post or update.

This is good news for privacy-conscious users who want more control over their personal information and aren’t afraid of being inconvenienced by getting rid of one app (or even just one notification).

But what does this mean for companies looking to build products?

For example, if you’re working on an app that relies on Facebook user insights to provide value-added content—like restaurant recommendations based on browsing history—that could change significantly now that people know exactly how much access they’ve given up by signing up for an account with a single click.

MARK ZUCKERBERG CREATED SOMETHING VERY USEFUL.

Zuckerberg created something beneficial, but there are unresolved disputes about what he should have done in the process.

For example, when Facebook launched its first mobile app in 2006, its users were allowed to delete their data from the platform. This was not a feature that people were asking for—but it was one they were entitled to and should have been part of any service like this one.

It would have been difficult for anyone who had used Facebook on their desktop computers (which most people did) to understand why taking away their ability to delete their data from mobile devices would be such a good thing if it weren’t offered at all!

Another complaint about Zuckerberg’s decision not to allow users to opt-out of certain features is that today many people use social media for business purposes rather than just entertaining themselves online; therefore, having an opt-out feature makes sense when trying to get more information out of these companies as well as protecting yourself against spying by third parties like advertisers or hackers stealing your personal information.

CONCLUSION

The most important takeaway from this story is that Mark Zuckerberg has built a great company, but there are still some unresolved disputes about what he should have done.

But he has created an ecosystem of social networks, including Whatsapp, Instagram, Messenger, and more. In his way, he has brought the world together.
