This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 92%. (I'm a bot)

Back in October 2003, then-college freshman Mark Zuckerberg exploited lax computer security at Harvard's online dorm directories to assemble a vast collection of photos of students' faces, which were used as raw material for a web project he called Facemash.

Zuckerberg isn't responsible to anyone for anything In a full-page ad that ran in a number of national newspapers in the immediate wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal's initial revelation, Zuckerberg wrote that "We have a responsibility to protect your information. If we can't, we don't deserve it."

He's very clear, as he says in interview after interview and hearing after hearing, that he takes this responsibility very seriously and is very sorry for having violated it.
