Oh, there's plenty to refute. Uneducated is plainly false. Not that smart is also clearly a non-starter.
Willful misuse of the word community is different from blundering misuse. Like much of facebook's practice in the black art of dark patterns, malice is suspect well before the presumption of incompetence. No time for Hanlon's razor here.
Emotional blackmail is deeply engrained into facebook's user interface, and serves as a driver of profits. So deeply pervasive this principle seems to be, that it would be unsurprising to find the infectious premise of such a persuasive tactic permeating Zuckerberg's general demeanor and subliminal mannerisms.
Still I'd suspect that calculating organizational malice doesn't preclude an individual still mostly being a nice guy, but with an apparatus like facebook being as huge as it is, beyond any single human, it matters less whether one is simply "a nice guy" at all, but rather a nice guy at what level, and to whom?
Does Mark Zuckerberg regard different types of strangers differently from one another? Which ones? When and why? How do strangers compare to employees, friends on a first name basis, or family members? Not all of these things are likely to be held in equal regard.
I was also taken aback by the author's insistence on Zuckerberg "not knowing the sense of the word community". Can't the author see that the majority of people nowadays have formed communities on Facebook? What does he/her expect, for us to go back to forming zadrugas? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zadruga)
