Mark Zuckerberg is considered the most dangerous person in the world, here's why!
Mark Zuckerberg is the founder and CEO of Facebook who has great power in his hands. The reason is how many billions of users can connect through his largest social network.
That’s why, a professor from New York University Stern School of Business, Scott Galloway said that Zuckerberg is the most dangerous person in the world.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Galloway continued to highlight the related plans of Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram. Judging from history, one of the keys to tyranny is that someone must consolidate the media, he said.
Mark Zuckerberg Called The Most Dangerous Person in the World
As we know, Instagram and WhatsApp are currently two very popular services owned by Facebook through acquisitions. After the integration project is completed later this year or in early 2022, these three services will share the same infrastructure.
So Zuckerberg’s power as the king of social media is getting bigger. Because a large number of people in the world use these three services, Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
As reported by Facebook itself, more than 2.7 billion users worldwide use at least one of Facebook’s services.
Zuckerberg’s plan to seek to reach billions of people around the world, Galloway is very concerned about. Because it will have big implications.
Creating Covert Defenses
Gallowey also revealed that the merger of Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp could be a form of covert defense. Useful in the event of an anti-trust case that could set the three apart.
The discourse of breaking up Facebook has recently begun to emerge. But beyond the plan, these three services themselves have joined and make the service very powerful.
One of the people who voiced for Facebook to break up was its co-founder, Chris Hughes. The idea has been flatly rejected by Facebook executives, including Zuckerberg as a Facebook developer at the Harvard campus with Hughes.
If in the future Facebook merges with Instagram and WhatsApp, according to Galloway, efforts to solve it will be increasingly difficult.
Why can Facebook be as big as it is now? According to Galloway, the first blame lies with the US government, especially for the trade authority of the Federal Trade Commission, the FTC which allowed Facebook’s acquisition of WhatsApp and Instagram.
