The internet took a short breath commenting on our current apocalypse to immerse it in the face of the Facebook founder with a bit of sunscreen.

Zuckerberg, the billionaire, was photographed with his clown-like sunscreen application, where he owns. Once the photos hit Twitter on Sunday, they teased Zuckerberg’s body and the heavy-duty sunscreen app.

Along with the memes they came and also, to an editorial of someone but deciding that he used “too much sunscreen”.

I’m sorry, but what? Defending Mark Zuckerberg?

Here’s the thing: There are plenty of reasons not to defend Zuckerberg, and him thickening it with sunscreen is the least of them. Making fun of Zuckerberg is the best: yes, even if it is about “his appearance”.

, which depending on its position is in itself a moral failure. As the fourth richest person in the world, according to Business Insider, Zuckerberg wields more power than billions of people (certainly more than the vast majority of the American population). He has the power to make real change during a time of global crisis, but instead decides to navigate his $ 12,000 Efoil board with zinc on his face.

Furthermore, Zuckerberg is not only harming the world at large with his personal inaction; He has also inflicted substantial damage with his inaction as Facebook CEO. The continued lack of real responses to the scourge of fake news and the viral conspiracies that spread in an instant on your website have been. At this point, he has had years to tackle it head-on, but not much has changed on the platform since the 2016 election.

In fact, this seems to have gotten worse since then. , despite his publications that promote violence, all while defending his choice as a matter of “freedom of expression”. This not only hurts our democratic process, but it hurts marginalized groups. Meanwhile, Zuckerberg continues to fill his pockets.

Furthermore, Zuckerberg may be hurting marginalized groups: Native Hawaiians claim that Zuckerberg is suing them for Kauai land, and they started a petition called that has garnered more than 800,000 signatures so far. Zuckerberg’s team told Newsweek that he.

Are all these subjects more important than the silly photographs in which he looks more like a haunting demon than a human man? Absolutely. But these silly photographs, or any of the images above that make it look like a soulless robot, don’t exist in a vacuum.

Zuckerberg treasures his wealth and grows richer by undermining democracy, even indirectly. You can give away billions of dollars for social good initiatives through the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative, but the decisions you make on Facebook take away any goodwill you get from those efforts. His charitable donations are also only a small fraction of his net worth of nearly $ 90 billion. And for heaven’s sake, Facebook only exists because Zuckerberg made a comparison of women after being abandoned. While as a general rule I don’t think people should be intimidated by their looks, in this case I am very willing to make an exception.

This guy sucks, and always has. He is now one of the most powerful men in the world and he needs us none to defend him. I daresay it is our right, our duty! – to make fun of him.
