I-a. CLEVER KIDS PLAYING TO DO SOMETHING THAT’S SUPPOSED TO RESEMBLE A SERIOUS GOAL OF A GROWN-UP
Just think of a knife in the possession of some wicked adult. Or of popularity or fame some may be using for call to actions to coerce someone not deserving to be inflicted with such dread. How about those who go to great lengths of wrong-doings, biases and lies in the name of gaining money or profits?
If many among us who are already adults cannot be responsible enough, how then can we expect children and teenagers, who definitely mostly don’t know any better yet, to be any more responsible in using privileges in ways safe for everybody around.
Always beware and be skeptical of children or teens having something to do with any form of power, or on the edge of it or indirectly leading to it, but at which many of our fellow adults use for sick-minded or ill-intentioned motives and deeds, more especially when that child or teen has no express consent from and close guidance of a parent or guardian having appropriate knowledge about that powerful thing whatever it may be. (Probably, except for family settings where the child is being a parent to their parents.)
And such unaided and unguided children and teens having powerful tools within their power to use will be growing in number incrementally as time goes by, and we see this happening now as underage people whose minds, values and sense of morale are still under development--maybe some won’t.
Being at the same time subject under present norm of under- or misguidance, they enjoy the convenience of the powers of social media, the power to know prematurely what’s still not appropriate to be known by ones with still developing minds; there’s tiktok and the like, being at the edge of popularity and fame, maybe at it exactly. When many among us who are already adults sometimes misuse or are irresponsible of those tools, how then would underage folks be?
I-b. CLEVER KIDS PLAYING TO DO SOMETHING THAT’S SUPPOSED TO RESEMBLE A SERIOUS GOAL OF A GROWN-UP
If you’re an adult now, imagine that earlier time in your life when you were still a teenager, or maybe you’re now still one of the smart people of age I’m referring to. With such an age when our mind and values are still under process of much development, do you see the times when among your circle of friends or acquaintances or people of same age, or honestly, even ourselves had fun hurting others and we just see such deeds as playing around.
How about that same time in our life when we knew instances of somebody, maybe a classmate, a schoolmate, a neighbor, or directly an enemy, who was still a child but was already very clever at concocting crafty ways to trick or make fun of you or others, or even those who have the motive to make your or another’s life harder? They are not the one’s who’re still young and just don’t know what they’re saying why they may get in your nerves, but the one’s who already know what they’re doing despite young age but decided to use their cleverness for bad deeds. Indeed, few cases of smart children and teens are like these.
But then what if such a child tried to create a precursor to a social media giant?
II. A PRECURSOR TO A PLATFORM WHERE CYBER-BULLYING WAS THE NORM
Too immature teens and children, as well as adults who never grew-up, thus, still acting like children, have that naïve mindset that it’s a fun thing to play other people’s lives.
This was the case with the website that Mark Zuckerberg made for campus students at Harvard. This was called alien.com where students could upload their own photos to be voted if hot or not.
Well, that’s fun …until you know it’s not prohibited to upload other student’s photos even without their consent. The result: a culture instituting hype, for those perceptively too cool, and humiliation, for those shamed their photos were uploaded without their consent.
And this became the true brand of what websites and platforms he launches next, a test or practice to create something with a culture which reflects how his mind works deep inside, a realm where everything normally happening among children and teens are passively allowed like bullying and shaming.
And it was all just for fun just like children and teens think hurting others is just playing and having fun! And, oh, boy, this brand really did show especially in the early years of facebook with all rampant cyberbullying that happened.
III. Back to his dark cleverness: PRACTICING HIS ANTI-TRUST BRANDING.
Knowing what he’s doing and what he wants despite his young age, as compared to teens who’d get in your nerves in not knowing what one is doing and saying. But the type of young person who has that dark cleverness under his sleeves, that is a Mark Zuckerberg definitely.
During time he was still coding facemash, later renamed facebook, he was approached by a partnership of 3 individuals who was creating a similar platform.
This was the time his anti-competitive brand was born.
IV. PLANNED DATA BROKERAGE: A BACKWARDS CHECK
Oh, yes, he was that smart. And more!
He was also that smart to kick from facebook his original financier. He always use people, a lot of people. How convenient of him, tsk, tsk, tsk.
And he was that clever to knows how to backstab peers.
During the early days of facebook when it still not the giant of today.
V-a. THE PUBLIC STILL DON’T KNOW ZUCKERBERG USED US ALL IN HIS PUBLICITY STUNT!
THERE IS NO BAD PUBLICITY FOR THOSE WITH THE MOTIVE UNTIL IT’S TOO LATE YOU REALIZE YOU’VE BEEN TRICKED BY A PUBLICITY THAT JUST REALLY WANTS TO USE THE PUBLIC FOR GAIN.
Just like how he’d used his first-ever financier, well, guess what? He also used the public, all us for his convenience! Really clever.

V-b. USING US FURTHER; A PLANNED DATA BROKERAGE: A BACKWARDS CHECK
During the time he was being escorted around the elite circles at Silicon Valley where he had a lot of even more bad influence, perhaps this was where he picked up the idea of data brokerage.
One characteristic of darkly clever teens, as well as adults, is always weighing how much they can use people and information like our geek here, Zuckerberg. That is why, as as***le geeks, they are keen on paying attention to information they may pick up which they may use for gain.
Mark was very exposed to dangerous information as he was escorted around Silicon Valley. And we get a quack who got wind about the existence of a business called data brokerage.
And, oh, boy, was that information very useful to him, you get the idea.
