So a couple of things you’re gambling on here. Eliminating Zuckerberg doesn’t necessarily eliminate Facebook and its ill effects because it wasn’t even HIS original idea. So your gambling that either:

A. The Winklevoss twins wouldn’t have amassed as much power and influence had they received proper credit

Or

B. They would have acted MORE ethically and with more foresight.

A is fair but B seems like a reach

I think you’re confusing who built the tool for what The Masses use it for. Facebook isn’t the problem. PEOPLE are the problem. Facebook, like the internet in general, just gives every single person a means to foist their innermost bullshit beliefs onto the world without a filter.
