The Washington Post has a retrospective on 14 years of Mark Zuckerberg saying sorry, not sorry:
From the moment the Facebook founder entered the public eye in 2003 for creating a Harvard student hot-or-not rating site, he's been apologizing. So we collected this abbreviated history of his public mea culpas.

We all know that Zuckerberg will do this again and again. Next time perhaps the crooks will empty thousands of peoples bank accounts at once - after all they've got a data store that the phishers would dream about. And yet the impact of "Delete Facebook" is "insignificant" because people can't live without it!
I appear to be living without it just fine and always have. Not meant to sound smug, just stating the fact that life without Facebook is possible. Life with real privacy is getting harder and harder, why hand all the information to these morons for free?
Huge thanks to all the Soylent volunteers without whom this community (and this post) would not be possible.

He's learned its easier to get forgiveness than permission. Of course he will do it again. The rules about what is permissible are defined by the dimensions to which he can push the envelop without getting push-back.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

The kicker: the photos being rated were copied from Harvard's ID photo database [thecrimson.com] without permission from the students or the university.
After Zuckerberg closed Facemash, he apparently [archive.org] turned the domain over to Adam D'Angelo [wikipedia.org] who repurposed it:

You know: just plain folks.
Folks who only have a smartphone because they're not into computers.
And that phone has just two apps: Facebook and Facebook Messenger.

"Regular people" are morons, so that's no surprise. Regardless, whether you're a regular person or an irregular person, you can avoid using Facebook. Despite what some may claim, this does not entail making any significant sacrifices. Stop caring about events that people can only be bothered to advertise on a monstrous surveillance engine. Stop caring about the daily lives of people or family members who live on the other side of the country, or find some other way to contact them. Stop caring about fake Facebook 'friends'. Stop aiding and abetting monstrous surveillance engines. But even if quitting Facebook did require one to make sacrifices, it would be worth it.

Yeah. But don't assume that just because you haven't created a Facebook account that they haven't created one for you...which was leaked, it all the information they attached to it.
Javascript is what you use to allow unknown third parties to run software you have no idea about on your computer.
